Review of parathyroid imaging and subsequent surgical findings in primary hyperparathyroidism – do they correlate?

Whicher Clare Alexandra , Karathanasi Eleni , Meeking Darryl

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the ambulatory setting. Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, imaging of the parathyroid glands is performed locally with a combination of ultrasound scan (USS) and sestamibi/single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT CT) to localise a parathyroid adenoma prior to surgery.Method: Data was collected on patients undergoing parathyroid surge...
