Detecting Synchronous Parathyroid Adenoma and False-Positive Findings on Technetium-99m MIBI Single Photon-Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography

Technetium (Tc)-99m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon-emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) is now being used increasingly for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas. Tc-99m-MIBI scintigraphy in a 52-year-old man with a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism revealed two focal areas with retention of radioactivity in the left lobe of the thyroid gland on the delayed phase of MIBI SPECT/CT but no...
