New treatment option for Pyelonephritis
Official title The Validity of the Quick Renal MRI in Pediatric Kidney Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03959163
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The investigators propose a new imaging method for children born with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract that is a rapid, injection-, sedation-, and radiation-free alternative: the quick renal MRI. This proposal hypothesizes that the quick renal MRI has high validity compared to current radiologic standard for renal infection and scarring, the 99mTechnetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc- DMSA) renal scan in the detection of acute renal infections and scars.
