99mTc-methylene diphosphonate imaging in neural crest tumors.

Thirteen patients with neural crest tumors were each studied with a radionuclide skeletal survey, a radiographic skeletal survey, and an iliac crest bone marrow aspiration. The RN skeletal survey proved to be more accurate that the radiographic skeletal survey in: 1) detecting the primary tumor; 2) demonstrating bony metastatic disease; and 3) evaluating response to therapy. The overall accuracy of the RN skeletal survey in detecting metastatic disease correlated with the results of bone marrow aspiration both in the initial detection of metastatic disease and the evaluation of response during therapy.

99M Tc-PIPIDA biliary imaging in children.

A report of 99mTc-PIPIDA as a diagnostic biliary agent in children is presented. The laboratory values and radiologic examinations are included to demonstrate the clinical value of the agent in evaluating both congenital and acquired pediatric biliary tract abnormalities. The role of 99mTc biliary tract imaging in children is discussed.

Pediatric radionuclide ventriculography.

Computed tomography is the standard diagnostic examination employed to identify the morbid anatomy of cerebrospinal fluid spaces in children. This noninvasive technique provides excellent anatomic information. However, CT only indirectly characterizes the cerebral spinal fluid pathways. When it is necessary to determine precise bulk cerebrospinal fluid flow for surgical correction, then radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) is a useful adjunctive procedure.
