Cerebral palsy: Initial experience with Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT of the brain
Roger Denays,Marianne Tondeur,V. Toppet,Hamphrey Ham,Amnon Piepsz,M. Spehl,M Rubinstein,P. Noël +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT of the brain is a valuable complementary tool for thorough neurologic assessment in cerebral palsy.

Contribution of thyroid ultrasound and serum calcitonin to the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism
Jean-Pierre Chanoine,V. Toppet,Jean-Jacques Body,G. Van Vliet,Raphaël Lagasse,Pierre Bourdoux,M. Spehl,François Delange +7 more
TL;DR: TU and TS provide complementary information in the diagnosis of CH, and TU should be routinely performed in all newborns suspected of CH to avoid unnecessary use of TS in unaffected infants.

Acute torsion of a wandering spleen in a child: preoperative diagnosis by ultrasonography and computed tomography
TL;DR: A case of wandering spleen in a child with acute abdominal pain and mid-abdominal mass is described and the preoperative diagnosis of acute torsion with infraction was made by the combination of ultrasonography and computed tomography.

Prediction of cerebral palsy in high-risk neonates: A technetium-99m- HMPAO SPECT study
Roger Denays,T. VanPachterbeke,V. Toppet,Marianne Tondeur,M. Spehl,Amnon Piepsz,P. Noël,D. Haumont,Hamphrey Ham +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that 99mTc-HMPAO brain SPECT, when performed in the first weeks of life, can be useful in high-risk neonates to predict occurrence of major neurological handicaps and radionuclide examination should not be performed in every high- risk neonate.

Unusual ventilation-perfusion patterns in primary lung tuberculosis.
TL;DR: Two cases of primary lung tuberculosis in children with unusual perfusion ventilation scintigraphic patterns are reported, and a mismatch in the right upper lobe suggests an elective compression of the bronchi by the mediastinal lymph nodes.
