A Prospective Study Comparing Ultrasound, Nuclear Scintigraphy and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Hydronephrosis

Abstract

Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI provides equivalent information about renal function but superior information regarding morphology in a single study without ionizing radiation. MRI has the potential to replace the currently used combination of other imaging modalities in the investigation of hydronephrosis in children.
