Abstrakt: In a case of primary hyperparathyroidism, a palpable nodule, at the base of the right lobe of the thyroid, proved 'cool' during Tc scanning, but 'hot' when scanned with radiocesium. The uptake of this tracer was higher than the uptake of Se-selenomethionine after suppression with T. The authors discuss the possibility of cases of 'false-positive' radiocesium uptake in extrathyroid nodules, and in particular, the use of this tracer for the detection of parathyroid adenoma by scanning.
