Implication

Dynamic renal scintigraphy compares renal function assessment using MRU in children, suggesting MRU's diagnostic accuracy is valuable.

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MRU in assessing split renal function and obstruction in comparison to dynamic renal scintigraphy.
Evaluated dynamic contrast-enhanced MRU images of 76 children previously examined with MAG3 scintigraphy.
Calculated split renal functions (SRF) and renal transit times (RTT) using CHOP-fMRU software.
Conducted Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney U test for quantitative variable comparison, and Pearson correlation for assessments.
Significant positive correlations between SRF values from MRU and MAG3 scintigraphy (r > 0.9, p = 0.001).
RTT cut-off of 11.5 min showed 94% sensitivity and 86% specificity in detecting obstruction.
Overall accuracy of RTT for obstruction prediction was found to be 88%.
