Quantitative analysis in parathyroid adenoma scintigraphy.

Objective null Surgery is the only curative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid scintigraphy is one method used to preoperatively localize the lesion. We examined time-related changes in radiopharmaceutical uptake in parathyroid adenomas (PTAs) and thyroid gland by quantitative single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging to assess differences between rapid and delayed washout patterns. null Patients and methods...
