Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can present in many different patterns with variable degrees of severity varying from asymptomatic and uncomplicated forms to life threatening complicated infections. Cross-sectional imaging techniques\u2014including both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\u2014have become very important tools not only for evaluation of UTIs, but also for detection of associated complications. Selection of either CT or MRI in the UTI evaluation depends on several factors such as the presence of contraindication, experience, cost and availability. CT and MRI help in early detection and management of UTIs that reduce the prevalence and severity of complications. In this article we will present the radiologic findings at CT and MRI in different types of upper and lower UTIs including acute pyelonephritis, intrarenal and perinephric abscesses, pyonephrosis, chronic pyelonephritis, emphysematous UTIs, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, tuberculosis (TB), bilharziasis, fungal infection, corynebacterium infection, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostatic abscess and urethritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57010032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,1]],"date-time":"2021-01-01T22:35:48Z","timestamp":1609540548000},"page":"32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["CT and MRI in Urinary Tract Infections: A Spectrum of Different Imaging Findings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Mohamed Abou","family":"El-Ghar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Urology and Nephrology Center, Mansoura University, 35516 Mansoura, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hashim","family":"Farg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Urology and Nephrology Center, Mansoura University, 35516 Mansoura, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doaa Elsayed","family":"Sharaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Urology and Nephrology Center, Mansoura University, 35516 Mansoura, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tarek","family":"El-Diasty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Urology and Nephrology Center, Mansoura University, 35516 Mansoura, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hodler, J., Kubik-Huch, R.A., and von Schulthess, G.K.
