OBJECTIVE. This article discusses the commonly used techniques for imaging the
parathyroid glands and their role in the preoperative evaluation of patients with primary …

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

AIM: To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy using single
photon-emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for the …

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

Background Preoperative localization of parathyroid tumors of primary hyperparathyroidism
(pHPT) is required for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP). Parathyroid four …

Objective: Ultrasonography (US) and parathyroid scintigraphy (PS) with 99mTc-MIBI are
common methods for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas but there …

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of radiologist‐performed
sonography as the principal modality for parathyroid localization before minimally invasive …

Objective Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder that can be
cured only by parathyroidectomy. Cervical ultrasonography and scintigraphy are the …

Objectives: Compare surgeon‐performed ultrasound versus sestamibi for preoperative
parathyroid adenoma localization. Study Design: Single‐institutional cohort. Methods: One …

Background The indications for surgery in primary hyperparathyroidism (1HPT) are the
same for patients with and without localization on imaging. However, patients with negative …
