Radionuclide techniques in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. The role of technetium 99m--thallium 201 subtraction scanning.

چکیده
The role of various radionuclide investigations, including parathyroid scintigraphy, bone scintigraphy and serum parathormone estimations in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is reviewed briefly. The initial experience with the dual isotope (Tl-201; Tc-99m) subtraction scintigraphy for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas is presented (JPMA 37 : 237, 1987).

A comparison of 10 MHz ultrasound and 201-thallium/99m-technetium subtraction scanning in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Both high resolution (10 MHz) ultrasound and 201-thallium/99m-technetium subtraction scanning (Tl/Tc) were carried out preoperatively in 25 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Operative findings were the standard against which these two imaging methodologies were compared. Tl/Tc scanning showed a sensitivity of 42% and a specificity of 97%. By comparison, sensitivity of ultrasound was 38...
متن کاملUtility of preoperative radionuclide scanning for primary hyperparathyroidism.
This study retrospectively reviews 60 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, 21 of whom underwent technetium 99 sestamibi scanning and 10 of whom underwent thallium 201/technetium 99 pertechnetate scanning preoperatively. The sestamibi and thallium scans demonstrated an 89.5% and a 62.5% sensitivity rate for adenoma, respectively. Neither scan demonstrated hyperplastic glands well. Although the ...
متن کاملA five year audit of the role of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope subtraction scanning in the preoperative investigation of primary hyperparathyroidism.
An audit has been performed of the value of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope scanning in the pre-operative investigation of 67 hypercalcaemic patients referred for surgery over a 5 year period. Parathyroid hormone assay by region-specific technique was found to have a diagnostic sensitivity of 75% (n = 52) whilst the more recent assay for the intact molecule was 97% se...
متن کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism in Hong Kong: an analysis of 44 cases.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is increasingly being diagnosed subsequent to the detection of hypercalcaemia using multichannel auto-analyser screening. This paper provides a local picture of the clinical presentation and management of primary hyperparathyroidism. A retrospective review was conducted of 44 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who were treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital b...
متن کاملtechnetium-99m subtraction scanning
Solitary parathyroid adenomas were correctly located before surgery in 20 out of 21 cases by using 20lmTl and 99mTc in a subtraction technique. The technique was not useful in identifying hyperplastic parathyroid glands. The technique is recommended as a useful procedure before surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
