Abstract:
The authors report on their own experience with the localization of enlarged parathyroid glands by sonography. In a study of 248 patients with hyperparathyroidism, they obtained a sensitivity of 57% and a specificity of 81%, with an overall accuracy of 74%. These results are discussed in detail.
