Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is being seen at American Family Children’s Hospital for a febrile UTI or suspected/confirmed kidney infection
- Your child is scheduled to have a DMSA scan (a kidney imaging test)
- Your child either is having DMSA as part of this current illness evaluation, or as routine care
- Your child has had more than one UTI in the past year (for the routine-care part of the study)
- Your child can have an MRI safely and you are comfortable with the Quick MRI
- Urine testing shows signs of infection (pyuria), with a positive urine culture

This trial uses a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to look at kidney function. It may help doctors better understand and monitor kidney problems.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the kidneys in people with different kinds of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, vasculitis, and after a kidney transplant. The goal is to better understand these conditions.
This study is testing a faster MRI technique for children with abdominal pain. It uses artificial intelligence to make the MRI quicker, which may be more comfortable for the child while still giving clear images of the abdomen.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects kidney function.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better understand kidney disease and improve imaging techniques. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor kidney problems more effectively.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with diabetic kidney disease. The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
