چکیده
UNLABELLED Preoperative localization of the parathyroids using (99m)Tc-sestamibi scanning has not yet been established as a routine diagnostic procedure for primary hyperparathyroidism. Several studies have demonstrated a variable degree of accuracy (70%-98%) in asymptomatic patients. METHODS We evaluated the accuracy of this technique in 64 patients who underwent scanning between January 2000 and January 2005 according to the clinical manifestations of the disease. RESULTS The study included 25 asymptomatic patients (group I), 18 nephrolithiasis patients without overt bone disease (group II), and 21 patients with severe bone involvement and osteitis fibrosa cystica (group III). Mean serum calcium in groups I, II, and III was 10.98 +/- 0.02, 11.32 +/- 0.17, and 13.35 +/- 0.35 mg/dL, respectively. Mean serum parathyroid hormone in groups I, II, and III was 135.45 +/- 13.50, 165.85 +/- 15.06, and 579.6 +/- 628.4 pg/mL, respectively. The (99m)Tc-sestamibi scan results were positive in 64% of the patients in group I, in 83% of those in group II, and in 100% of those in group III. Of the patients with severe bone disease, 70% showed increased uptake on the initial images, whereas in the other groups, increased uptake was seen only on the delayed images, as expected. CONCLUSION Our data show a high degree of accuracy for the use of (99m)Tc-sestamibi scanning as a localizing procedure in severe primary hyperparathyroidism.

BACKGROUND Investigations using a hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT-CT) scanning technique have been carried out in limited studies and have shown mixed results. However, the assessment of this technique for the detection of parathyroid adenoma in patients with a nodular goiter was performed in only one study with a small sample size. The aim of this p...
متن کاملParathyroid adenoma Localization
Background: Bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. But surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance....
متن کاملDual Localization with Ultrasound and Iodine 123 and Technetium (99mTc) Sestamibi Scintigraphy is Superior to Single Imaging Modalities in Facilitating Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in the majority of patients. Localization of parathyroid adenomas prior to surgery has the benefit of allowing a minimally invasive approach. Over the years, multiple imaging modalities have been employed in an attempt to identify the site preoperatively, with varying degrees of success. In this study, we explore the accuracy...

The aim of this study was to correlate the uptake of 99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (MIBI) with ultra-structural features of parathyroid adenomas. Twenty patients with proven primary hyperparathyroidism were evaluated prospectively. Preoperative double-phase 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy was performed in all patients and the degree of tracer uptake by the parathyroid lesions was assessed visually ...

BACKGROUND Results of initial operation for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism are generally excellent, yet today there is pressure to improve outcome and resource utilization. METHODS We designed a prospective longitudinal cohort study comparing two approaches to concise parathyroidectomy. Strategy A was defined as the palpation method for selective unilateral exploration. Strategy B was d...
