Our objective was to investigate the feasibility of subtraction for SPECT images of 99mTc-
MIBI double-phase parathyroid scintigraphy. Methods: Fourteen patients with …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of locating parathyroid
adenomas using dual-Isotope subtraction single-photon emission computed tomography …

Methods: Forty four patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, in whom histopathological
correlation could be performed, were included in the study. Dual-phase Tc-99m parathyroid …

Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in up to 90% of
clinical cases. Selective surgical excision of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is the …

The superiority of SPECT/CT over SPECT for 99m Tc-sestamibi parathyroid imaging often is
assumed to be due to improved lesion localization provided by the anatomic component …

Objectives. This retrospective study evaluated whether the use of additional anterior-
sestamibi/123 I pinhole imaging improves the outcome of-sestamibi/123 I subtraction …

The trend toward focused surgical parathyroidectomy requires precise preoperative
localization of parathyroid lesions in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The purpose of this …

Various methodologies for 99mTc-sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy are in clinical use.
There are few direct comparisons between the different methods and even less evidence …

Background There is a continual search for a better imaging modality for parathyroid
pathology. In recent years, Tc-99m sestamibi has been proposed as an alternative to Tl-201 …

Our purpose was to compare double-phase 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) and simultaneous 123I-99mTc-sestamibi subtraction …
