Abstract

The Image Gently Nuclear Medicine Working Group published a 10-year update in 2019. One of the future goals of this working group is to continue the efforts started in 2014 to harmonize the North American guidelines with the European Association of Nuclear Medicine pediatric dosing guidelines, continuing to publicize the use of the North American guidelines. The update also acknowledged the need for standardization of CT parameters in hybrid imaging and also will seek to tackle this issue as one of its future goals.
