title: [Nuclear medicine in children].
abstract: Pediatric nuclear medicine (PNM) is now well established as a major imaging modality in children. Recent technical advances in gamma cameras and associated data processing, together with the development of new tracers has modified routine practice in PNM. In order to better ascertain how PNM is routinely used in France, all nuclear medicine departments in Paris and its suburbs answered a detailed questionnaire. The results show three main indications for PNM: exploration of the skeleton (33.3%), the urinary tract (23.5%) and the lung (22.5%).
