The differentiated indication of a VCUG based on the use of a tool was efficient in optimizing the specificity of the diagnostic algorithm after fUTIs. The tool outperformed other common clinical approaches in terms of VUR detection and VCUG frequency. After validation and further refinement in a multicentric approach, this strategy could significantly enhance VUR detection whilst reducing the number of VCUGs.
