2016, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :The diagnostic accuracy of MIBI scan is limited [8]. Several publications reported a sensitivity of 50% to 85% for MIBI scan for primary hyperparathyroidism [9–13]. Adding B-mode US and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with parathyroid hormone (PTH) washout to MIBI scan has improved localization of parathyroid adenoma [14].

2013, American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Of the 190 patients with pHPT who had preoperative ultrasound in our study, ultrasound was correct in identifying the location of an adenoma confirmed at operation by quadrant in 130 patients (66%) and in 152 (77%) patients by laterality. Our results are consistent with those of other institutions, despite conducting a more detailed 4-quadrant analysis [11–23]. Correct localization by quadrant for sestamibi scan was achieved in 75 of 177 patients (42%), with accurate localization by laterality in 92 of 177 (52%) patients.
