AB  - This article was written to give health-care providers working in the field of nuclear medicine some background information on pediatric PET/CT. Specifically, it provides information regarding patient preparation and acquisition techniques necessary to obtain high-quality pediatric PET/CT images. It is targeted primarily at nuclear medicine technologists and CT technologists but may be beneficial to physicians performing PET/CT scans as well. The learning objectives for this article are to help the reader understand the practical aspects involved in pediatric PET/CT, to provide helpful tips and techniques that can be applied to pediatric nuclear medicine, and to help the reader understand and explore the various studies being done with 18F-FDG in children.
