<b>Purpose: </b><sup>18</sup>F-FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to be superior to other imaging modalities in assessment of soft tissue involvement with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) and is now commonly included in the staging workup of LCH. Our purpose is to analyze the utility of skeletal survey in addition to PET-CT scan for detecting bone lesions in children with LCH and to evaluate if skeletal survey can be eliminated from the staging workup of LCH in order to reduce radiation exposure.

The general pediatric radiologist is well aware of the classic scintigraphic findings of common malignancies. However, atypical presentations, appearances, and complications related to treatment and resultant immunosuppression may confound diagnosis. We present a series of interesting cases to help our non-nuclear medicine trained colleagues develop a systematic approach to nuclear medicine image interpretation in atypical cases. Read More
