Neck ultrasound (US) can facilitate minimally invasive parathyroidectomy by providing fine anatomical detail of enlarged parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The role of neck MRI in US negative/equivocal cases remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the performance of neck MRI in parathyroid tumour localisation in the setting of negative or equivocal neck US.We performed a retrospective review of a consecutive series of...
