Abstract:

Parathyroid scintigraphy confirmed its validity in the preoperative localization of enlarged parathyroids, showing a sensitivity of 82% in a series of 250 patients suffering from primary hyperparathyroidism and successfully operated on. The glands better visualized were in an ectopic site or they were completely or partially outside the thyroid so that they were easily visible without employing digital image subtraction. This is nevertheless necessary to visualize parathyroids in a retrothyroid site but some problems arise, related not only to movements of the patient but also to the instrumentation to perform a correct image subtraction.

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.
