Objective Imaging in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism has been proven difficult.
During the last decade, sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasound (US) have been used with …

Importance Accurate preoperative localization of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is an
important and challenging issue for a successful parathyroidectomy. Although new imaging …

Cancer-induced hypercalcemia (CIH) occurs in 5% to 30% of patients with cancer during the
course of their disease, depending on the type of tumor. This review provides information on …

Abstract purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the sensitivity and
positive predictive value (PPV) of CT for preoperative parathyroid localization in patients …

Background Surgery is the only curative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Initial
parathyroidectomy procedures fail due to ectopic gland location and unappreciated …

Hypothesis Three-gland parathyroidectomy with transcervical thymectomy and
cryopreservation is the preferred initial surgical approach for hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in …

Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3TMRI in comparison with ultrasound
(US) and 99mTc-sestamibi scan for presurgical localisation of parathyroid adenomas (PTAs) …

In recent years, preoperative imaging has become essential in the evaluation of sporadic
primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) for selecting good candidates for minimally invasive …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the utility of preoperative thin cut (2.5
mm) computed tomography (CT) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and …

Background Preoperative imaging in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and a
previous parathyroid operation is essential; however, performance of conventional imaging …
