An extensive application of nuclear medical examination in the field of pediatric diagnostics was only made possible by introduction of short-lived radionuclides. On the one hand, they cause low radiation exposure, on the other they allow short-term check-ups. Analysis carried out on examination results of 47 children revealing various skeletal disorders showed a combination of radiologic-nuclear medical examination methods to produce maximal information suitable for both diagnostics and therapeutical planning. Specific questions such as termination of pathologic alteration process within the skeleton, can be answered only by the use of the scintigraphy. With reference to 4 cases the wide range of possibilities and limitations of skeletal scintigraphy in pediatrics are shown.
短寿命放射性核素的引入才使得核医学检查在儿科诊断领域得到广泛应用。一方面，它们造成的辐射暴露较低，另一方面，它们允许进行短期检查。对47名患有各种骨骼疾病的儿童的检查结果进行分析表明，放射学 - 核医学检查方法相结合可产生适用于诊断和治疗规划的最大信息量。只有使用闪烁扫描才能回答诸如骨骼内病理改变过程是否终止等特定问题。参照4个病例展示了儿科骨骼闪烁扫描的广泛可能性和局限性。
