Ultrasound (US) and scintigraphy are used most frequently of all the available imaging techniques for the preoperative evaluation of patients with possible primary hyperparathyroid disease. The aim of this study was to assess the value of dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy compared with US in the detection of adenomatous or hyperplastic glands and in the surgical decision-making process for patients with a biochemical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroid disease.

Abstract

Ultrasound (US) and scintigraphy are used most frequently of all the available imaging techniques for the preoperative evaluation of patients with possible primary hyperparathyroid disease. The aim of this study was to assess the value of dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy compared with US in the detection of adenomatous or hyperplastic glands and in the surgical decision-making process for patients with a biochemical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroid disease.
