Introduction: Minimally invasive surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) requires optimal preoperative localisation imaging. Parathyroid four-dimensional CT (4D-CT) has been reported to provide greater sensitivity than MIBI-SPECT/CT in localizing parathyroid adenomas. We analysed the additional value of 4D-CT in our cohort of PHPT patients.Materials and methods: Patients who attended our parathyroid clinic between February 2016 and April...

Background: High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) undergoing radioiodine (I-131) treatment can be prepared by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) or with parenteral recombinant TSH (rhTSH). We compared two centres predominantly using THW or rhTSH to study the impact on radioiodine retention and length of hospital stay (LoHS).Methods: We retrospectively compared radioactivity at discharge following high dose I-131 therapy (3–5 GBq ...
