Dosage Card

In 2008 the EANM published the first version of the paediatric dosage card. In 2011, the North American consensus guidelines recommended a set of administered activities for paediatric nuclear medicine. During the EANM Congress in 2012, a working group of the EANM and the SNMMI met to study the possibilities to harmonise these guidelines. The purpose of this publication was to identify differences between these guidelines and suggest changes in both to achieve a level of harmonisation. In August 2016, the last update of the EANM Paediatric Dosage Card was issued.

This card summarises the views of the Paediatric and Dosimetry Committees of the EANM and reflects recommendations for which the EANM cannot be held responsible. The dosage recommendations should be taken in the context of “good practice” of nuclear medicine and do not substitute for national and international legal or regulatory provisions.
