Accuracy of parathyroid imaging: comparison of planar scintigraphy, spect, spect/ct and c-11 methionine pet for the detection of parathyroid adenomas and glandular hyperplasia
Abstract
To compare the accuracy of planar scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), SPECT-CT, and positron emission tomography (PET) with C-11 methionine for the pre-operative detection of parathyroid adenomas.We retrospectively evaluated the pre-operative studies of 60 patients with primary (n=56) and secondary (n=4) hyperparathyroidism. In 25/60 patients (Group 1), only planar scans were obtained, and additional SPECT and...
