Sensitivity and specificity of thallium-technetium subtraction scan in localization of the parathyroid adenoma [Persian]

Thirty one patients with biologic and clinical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism were submitted to thalium-technetium scan prior to exploration of the neck. Scan findings were compared with the pathologic results. Surgical exploration of the neck showed a parathyroid adenoma in 24 patients, parathyroid carcinoma in one patient, normal parathyroid in another patient and parathyroid hyperplasia in...

A clinical audit of thallium-technetium subtraction parathyroid scans.

Eighty six consecutive thallium-technetium subtraction parathyroid scans performed over a three year period for hypercalcaemia have been evaluated. Twelve had chronic renal failure, 11 had hypercalcaemia due to non-hyperparathyroid causes and in 10 the imaging study was technically inadequate. The remaining 53 technically adequate studies performed for hypercalcaemia clinically thought to be po...

A five year audit of the role of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope subtraction scanning

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 of75% (n = 52) whilst the more recent assay for the intact molecule was 97% sen...

Localization of ectopic parathyroid adenoma with Tc-99m-MIBI [Persian]

  Ectopic paratliyroid adenoma might create a clinical dilemma in patients with hypercalcemia. Radioisotopic scan is a sensitive and noninvasive method which can be useful in these patients. In this report a case of ectopic parathyroid adenoma is presented and the usefulness of TC-99m-MIBI scintigraphy as compared with other modalities is discussed.
