Purpose Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in
pediatric 99mTc‐dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to …

AIM To investigate the feasibility of reducing the scan time of paediatric technetium 99m
(99m Tc) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) single-photon-emission computed tomographic …

AIM To investigate the feasibility of using deep learning (DL) to differentiate normal from
abnormal (or scarred) kidneys using technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99m Tc …

Objective Accurate delineation of renal regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for the
assessment of renal function in pediatric dynamic renal scintigraphy (DRS). The purpose of …

Current guidelines for administered activity (AA) in pediatric nuclear medicine imaging
studies are based on a 2016 harmonization of the 2010 North American Consensus …

SPECT imaging is one of the common modalities used to examine kidney disease. The
radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc-MAG3, 99mTc-DTPA, and 99mTc-DMSA are …

154 Objectives: We have previously reported that weight-based scaling of administered
activity (AA) does not provide a consistent diagnostic image quality in pediatric renal …

Background CT deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithms have been developed to
remove image noise. How the DLR affects image quality and radiation dose reduction has …

Optimizing the CT acquisition parameters to obtain diagnostic image quality at the lowest
possible radiation dose is crucial in the radiosensitive pediatric population. The image …
