| Popis: | Single and dual radionuclide techniques have been described in localization of parathyroid adenomas. Although single radionuclide imaging with Tc-99m sestamibi has many advantages, it can fail to demonstrate a parathyroid adenoma, which, in the case presented, is well demonstrated with dual radionuclide imaging. The authors recommend dual tracer imaging when searching for parathyroid adenoma. |
