Several nuclear medicine procedures are commonly used in pediatrics:
- Bone Scans: These are often used to detect bone infections, fractures, or tumors. - Renal Scans: These help in evaluating kidney function and drainage, especially in congenital abnormalities. - Cardiac Scans: These assess heart function and detect congenital heart diseases. - Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans: These are useful in oncology for staging and monitoring treatment response in pediatric cancers.
