Introduction: Tc99m-Sestamibi+I-123 subtraction using planar and SPECT-CT (SPECT-CT 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid) is commonly used to investigate primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We previously reported the sensitivity and positive predictive value of 4D CT parathyroid as the second line investigation in patients with non-diagnostic SPECT-CT 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid (https://www.endocrine-abstrac...
