Abstract
To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy using single photon-emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for the preoperative localization of solitary parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who would be suitable for minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.Retrospective study of 63 consecutive patients with biochemical evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism referred for...
