A member asked:
Ive had reoccurring utis so my doctor recommended an ultrasound, then when the doctor read the images they wanted me to get an mri of my kidneys.why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Further look: Assuming the US was of the bladder, they might have seen something that suggested the problem lay higher up in the urinary tract (UTI is urinary tract infection, and includes the kidneys, ureter and bladder), although MRI is not usually the first line imaging used. There is probably something that I'm missing here
