Popis: Primary hyperparathyroidism results most commonly from a parathyroid adenoma, a benign parathyroid tumor that causes high levels of parathyroid hormone production. Given recent advances in surgical techniques allowing more focused, minimally invasive procedures, presurgical identification of candidate operative tissue has become increasingly useful in avoidance of 4-gland exploration. Imaging modalities for identification of parathyroid adenoma include ultrasonography, parathyroid scintigraphy, four-dimensional computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This article discusses technical and interpretive approaches for the available modalities, and reviews their strengths and weaknesses. Updates to the individual modalities and approaches for problem solving in lesion detection are also addressed.
