Excerpt

In the May 2007 issue of the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, two very important papers concerning paediatric nuclear medicine were published: an editorial “PET/CT in paediatrics: it is time to increase its use” [1] and “The new EANM paediatric dosage card” [2]. …
