Identification of the embryologic origin of hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenomas in primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) could determine the most suitable approach for minimally …

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

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an increasingly diagnosed disease
worldwide. In most cases, PHPT is related to the presence of a solitary parathyroid adenoma …

Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) results from an excess of parathyroid
hormone (PTH) produced from an overactive parathyroid gland. The study aimed to explore …

Methods Two hundred forty-nine consecutive patients, biochemically diagnosed with
primary hyperparathyroidism, were examined with a combined SPECT/CT scanner …

Background: Focused unilateral or minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for primary
hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) depends on the successful preoperative localization of …

We aimed to assess the value of 11C-choline PET in patients with primary
hyperparathyroidism and negative or discordant results on 99mTc-sestamibi imaging and …

The utility of parathyroid scintigraphy has increased dramatically in the past 25 years.
Parathyroid scintigraphy was not used for preoperative localization when bilateral neck …

Purpose Accurate preoperative localization of parathyroid lesion (s) is crucial for successful
surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). This study was conducted to …

In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), positive preoperative localization
studies enable to perform a minimally invasive approach for parathyroid surgery. However …
