Infections of the urinary tract are common and account for a large number of patient encounters in the ambulatory and emergency department setting. Their severity and presentation varies, and although uncomplicated infections can often be diagnosed and treated based on clinical and laboratory findings alone, diagnostic imaging may be necessary in some cases to guide appropriate medical or surgical therapy. We will briefly describe the indications for imaging known or suspected upper urinary tract infections, and the relative benefits and limitations of the different imaging modalities for a given clinical presentation. This will be followed by a discussion of various types of renal infections with a pictorial review of their imaging appearances and differential diagnoses.
尿路感染很常见，在门诊和急诊科中占了大量的就诊病例。其严重程度和表现各不相同，虽然单纯性感染通常仅根据临床和实验室检查结果就能诊断和治疗，但在某些情况下可能需要进行诊断性影像学检查，以指导适当的药物或手术治疗。我们将简要描述已知或疑似上尿路感染的影像学检查适应证，以及针对特定临床表现的不同影像学检查方法的相对益处和局限性。接下来将讨论各种类型的肾脏感染，并对其影像学表现和鉴别诊断进行图片回顾。
