Letter From the Editors

Dr Pietro in Zuchetta, our guest editor for this issue, makes the point in his editorial that the practice of Nuclear Medicine in Pediatrics requires special considerations that are different from care of adult patients. It took many years of medical practice for Pediatrics to be recognized as a separate discipline from internal medicine. Children previous to that were treated like small adults with only minor consideration given to their different metabolic and physiologic requirements. In 1933, Pediatrics was recognized as a distinct separate specialty in medicine by the formation of the American Board of Pediatrics.
