Introduction: For minimally invasive surgery of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), the identification of the accurate localization is required. As preoperative diagnostic imagings, we perform ultrasound, technetium 99m-sestamibi scintigraphy and either or both of megnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography in all cases. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical biochemical factors that fascilitate preoperative diagnostic imagings for localization.<p c...
