Accuracy of technetium‐99m SPECT‐CT hybrid images in predicting the precise intraoperative anatomical location of parathyroid adenomas

Background. This study evaluated the accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)‐CT imaging for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas. Methods. This study included both a quantitative and qualitative accuracy measure. The quantitative measure was the distance between the location of the adenoma on the SPECT‐CT scan and the location of the adenoma intraoperatively. Qualitatively, surgeons were asked whether or...
