    FIGURE 1.

    A 17-y-old girl with newly diagnosed Hodgkin’s disease. Residual activity at the injection site and in the intravenous tubing is readily seen. This can be minimized by thoroughly flushing the line after injection of the tracer and by diluting the tracer before injection.

    FIGURE 2.

    Anterior and lateral projection images of 2-y-old girl with neuroblastoma. During catheterization, the technologist noted a few drops of urine fell onto the underlying blue absorbent pad. The absorbent pad functioned well in directing the activity away from the patient.

    FIGURE 3.

    PET/CT scan of 3-y-old boy with recurrent neuroblastoma. (A) Chest CT scan shows bibasilar atelectasis. (B) Corresponding PET image shows no abnormal 18F-FDG accumulation in areas of atelectatic lungs.
