Nuclear medicine enables functional evaluation of organ systems not possible with standard anatomic imaging modalities. The pathophysiology necessitating scintigraphic examination of the pediatric patient is often different from that in the adult and therefore calls for new or modified applications of nuclear medicine. This article briefly reviews such application, with the scope limited to the evaluation of the pediatric chest and organ systems.

核医学能够对器官系统进行功能评估，而这是标准解剖成像方式无法做到的。小儿患者进行闪烁扫描检查的病理生理学情况通常与成人不同，因此需要核医学有新的应用或改进应用。本文简要回顾此类应用，范围限于小儿胸部和器官系统的评估。
