Popis: Objective: Radiographic imaging of ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VP-shunts) is known to provide limited sensitivity for the detection of mechanical shunt complications and is associated with a radiation exposure of 1.57 mSv on the average In the present study we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of whole-body[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
