dc.description.abstractPurpose Tc-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan is the current gold standard in detecting parenchymal changes, particularly scarring, in pyelonephritis. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining popularity in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. The aim of this study is to perform a meta-analysis on studies directly comparing MRI to DMSA scan in patients with pyelonephritis. Materials Systematic searches of PUBMED and EMBASE databases were performed to extract studies comparing MRI and DMSA scan in patients with pyelonephritis. The relevance of articles was assessed by two authors according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pooled estimates of the sensitivities of MRI and DMSA scan were computed using random-effects meta-analysis model following DerSimonian and Laird's method. Subgroup analysis and publication bias were performed. Results Seven studies were included (164 patients). Using random effect model, the pooled estimate of the sensitivities of MRI and DMSA scan were 0.62 (95%CI: 0.44 - 0.77) and 0.59 (95%CI: 0.48 - 0.70), respectively. The pooled estimates of sensitivities of MRI and DMSA scan for acute pyelonephritis were 0.73 (95%CI: 0.49- 0.89) and 0.66 (95%CI: 0.56 - 0.75), respectively, and for scar detection were 0.48 (95%CI: 0.31- 0.66), and 0.50 (95%CI: 0.30 - 0.71), respectively. Conclusion The overall sensitivities of MRI and DMSA scan were equivalent in detecting parenchymal changes in pyelonephritis. MRI and DMSA scan appeared to be equivalent to scar detection. In a small number of studies, MRI appeared to be better than the DMSA scan in acute pyelonephritis but this should be further studied in a larger number of patients.en_US
