Nuclear Medicine Imaging in Pediatric Neurology
Nuclear medicine imaging can provide important complementary information in the management of pediatric patients with neurological diseases. Pre-surgical localization of the epileptogenic focus in medically refractory epilepsy patients is the most common indication for nuclear medicine imaging in pediatric neurology. In patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, nuclear medicine imaging is particula...

Renal scintigraphic methods, which are physiologic and minimally invasive, have played important role in the management of various renal diseases in children, providing sensitive tool for early detection of disease even before structural changes become prominent and giving valuable functional and anatomical information to aid medical decision makings in the treatment and follow-up of patients. ...
متن کاملNuclear medicine in pediatric oncology.
Pediatric malignancies are relatively rare and account for 0.5% of all cancers. The annual incidence varies between 110 and 150 per million children, which means that the chance for a child to develop a cancer during the first 15 years of life is 1:450–600. Leukemias and tumors of the brain and spinal cord have the highest relative incidence rates, followed in frequency by neuroblastoma, lympho...
متن کاملThe effect of earth magnetic field on the function of nuclear medicine imaging systems (SPECT)
Background: The nuclear medicine systems are very sensitive to the variation of the magnetic field. Photomultiplier tubes amplify low energy light signal and change it into electrical current. Low magnetic field can produce some variations in uniformity and special resolution of SPECT systems. In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on the function of nuclear medic...
