The practice of nuclear medicine in children is different from that in adults. Technical considerations including immobilization, dosing of radiopharmaceuticals, and instrumentation are of major importance. Image magnification and the capability to perform single-photon emission tomography are essential to performing state of the art pediatric nuclear medicine. New advances in instrumentation with multiple detector imaging, the possibility of clinical positron emission tomography imaging in children, and new radiopharmaceuticals will further enhance pediatric scintigraphic imaging. This review highlights advances in pediatric nuclear medicine and discusses selected clinical problems.
儿童核医学的实践与成人不同。包括固定、放射性药物给药和仪器设备等技术考量至关重要。图像放大以及进行单光子发射断层扫描的能力对于开展先进的儿科核医学至关重要。具有多探测器成像功能的仪器设备的新进展、儿童临床正电子发射断层扫描成像的可能性以及新的放射性药物将进一步提升儿科闪烁成像。本综述重点介绍儿科核医学的进展并讨论一些选定的临床问题。
