Abstract

Until the 1980s no serious attempts were made to develop paediatric nuclear medicine, as for various reasons many centres were reluctant to perform radionuclide examinations on children. Then two books were published on paediatric nuclear medicine in 1984 and 1985, respectively. In 1987, a group of physicians formed an informal club of paediatricians and nuclear medicine specialists in an effort to improve the relationship and cooperation between these specialties. Carrying out nuclear medicine examinations on children requires a completely different approach than on adults. Suggestions are made and tips given, and the specific problems involved are discussed in detail.
