[Scintigraphic studies of skeletal abnormalities during childhood (author's transl)]. 1977

J Wickenhauser, and W Swoboda, and P Krepler

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.
