The article discusses the use of standardized imaging techniques to visualize the kidney and urogenital tract (UGT) of infants and identify neonatal UGT conditions. It cites the imaging techniques in pediatric urology, including ultrasonography (US), intravenous urography (IVU) and computed tomography (CT). It notes the importance of identifying the reasons of the investigation, the possible results and right timing. It also mentions the specific imaging algorithms for neonatal UGT conditions.

The article focuses on the aid of radiological imaging to differentiate upper and lower urinary tract infection (UTI) among children. It states that paediatric uroradiology is one of the backbones of radiological practice for UTI. It discusses various imaging systems used for UTI such as dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy, ultrasound (US), and voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). It concludes that radiological imaging in UTI remains crucial for children such as radiation exposure.
