“…We have found that reflux severity in these asymptomatic children varies widely from mild to severe (68)(69)(70). The incidence of renal cortical damage in these siblings with VUR is high (68,(71)(72)(73)(74). Thus, when VUR is diagnosed in a child, evaluation for VUR is appropriate in the siblings (74,75).…”

“…RNC is sensitive, because it provides continuous monitoring both during filling of the bladder and during voiding and has a high contrast, enabling detection of reflux as slight as 0.2 mL (68,69). There is no need for patient preparation or sedation.…”

“…RNC grade 2 refers to reflux that reaches the renal pelvis, without pelvic dilatation and without a dilated or redundant ureter (equivalent to vesicoureterogram grades II and III). RNC grade 3, the most severe, shows reflux into the renal pelvis with significant dilatation of the pelvis or tortuosity of the ureter (equivalent to vesicoureterogram grades IV and V) (68).…”

Learning Objectives: On successful completion of this activity, participants should be able to describe, for children less than 1 y old, (1) the wide variety of nuclear medicine indications; (2) the nuclear medicine studies, relative to other imaging methods, that can provide the highest diagnostic yield; (3) how to obtain high-quality nuclear medicine examinations at the lowest radiation exposures; (4) how growth and development affect the appearance, and therefore the interpretation, of nuclear medicine images; and (5) special care needed, such as patient preparation, immobilization, distraction techniques, environment, sedation or general anesthesia, imaging techniques, image processing, and presentation of results.Financial Disclosure: The authors of this article have indicated no relevant relationships that could be perceived as a real or apparent conflict of interest.

SNM designates each JNM continuing education article for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.For CE credit, participants can access this activity through the SNM Web site (http://www.snm.org/ce_online) through June 2012.Nuclear medicine has an important role in the care of newborns and children less than 1 y old. Patients in this age group present with a spectrum of diseases different from those of older children or adults. These patients can benefit from the full range of nuclear medicine studies. In these young children, nuclear medicine studies are more likely to be used to evaluate a wide range of congenital conditions but also can be helpful for evaluating acquired conditions such as infection, cancer, and trauma. This review first will cover the general aspects of nuclear medicine practice with these patients, including the special considerations that can help achieve successful diagnostic imaging. These topics will include clinical indications, imaging technology, instrumentation, software, positioning and immobilization, sedation, local and general anesthesia, radiopharmaceutical doses, radiation risk, and dose reduction. The review then will discuss the specific nuclear medicine studies that typically are obtained in patients in this age group. With extra care and attention to the special needs of this population, nuclear medicine departments can successfully study patients less than 1 y old.

“…In children, common indications for serial renal scintigraphy include assessing recovery of renal function after treatment of obstructive uropathy, such as in UPJ obstruction and posterior urethral valves. 67 In the setting of a duplicated collecting system, mercaptoacetyltriglycine serves 2 purposes: first, it serves to calculate the split function of upper and lower poles and second, it serves to evaluate for the presence of an obstructed moiety. It is noteworthy that the obstructed moiety can be associated with an ureterocele, which are 4-6 times more commonly encountered in female children than in male children.…”
