Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most often disease in children. The diagnosis is based on clinical signs and value of laboratory results. Nevertheless imaging methods plays also very important role in the diagnostic algorithm. The gold standard is ultrasonography of kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. Other usable imaging methods are a voiding cystourethrography, which can be modified as a radionuclide examination, static renal scintigraphy, CT or MR investigation.
Ultrasonographic imaging of individual types of urinary tract infections are clearly described in this article and imaging documentation is added.
