Parathyroid four-dimensional (4D) CT is an increasingly used and powerful tool for
preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid tissue in the setting of primary …

Importance Successful minimally invasive parathyroidectomy requires confident and
accurate preoperative localization. Several noninvasive imaging techniques are well …

Brown tumours do not represent neoplastic process, but they are focal bony lesions due to
bone remodelling from either primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Their incidence is …

Abstract purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the sensitivity and
positive predictive value (PPV) of CT for preoperative parathyroid localization in patients …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to measure the organ doses and effective dose
(ED) for parathyroid 4D CT and scintigraphy and to estimate the lifetime attributable risk of …

Purpose This prospective pilot study was aimed to evaluate 11 C-choline PET/CT (choline)
as a tool for localization of parathyroid adenoma (PTA). Methods Forty patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 4D-CT is an emerging technique that uses high-resolution
images, multiplanar reformats, and perfusion characteristics to identify abnormal parathyroid …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The hypervascular nature of parathyroid adenomas can
be explored by proper dynamic imaging to narrow the target lesions for surgical exploration …

Hyperparathyroidism is defined as excessive parathyroid hormone production. The
diagnosis is made through biochemical testing, in which imaging has no role. However …

Objective To evaluate 4-dimensional (4D) computed tomography (CT) for the localization of
parathyroid adenomas previously considered nonlocalizing on ultrasound and single …
