Abstract
Today’s nuclear medicine departments are experiencing an ever-increasing demand for diagnostic procedures on pediatric patients. The need for early diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction is universally understood. The RES-O-MAT Effective Thyroxine Ratio (ETR) test has been successfully used on a series of normal newborns in an effort to establish a range of normal values for this in vitro examination.
