Abstract

Usually we do not perform the nuclear medicine investigations in pregnant women, lactating mothers and neonates. However, in some critical situations we are compelled to do these with good results as depicted by two isotope renograms, one in a lactating mother and another in a small infant of age 3 months. We report these cases considering their rarity.
