Abstract

Special consideration needs to be given to children who undergo dynamic renography. The Paediatric Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine has updated the previous guidelines. Details are provided on how to manage the child, the equipment, and the acquisition and processing protocols. The pitfalls, difficulties and controversies that are encountered are also discussed, as well as the interpretation of the results.
