A Prospective Comparative Study of Using Ultrasonography, 4D-CT and Parathyroid Dual-Phase Scintigraphy with SPECT in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Thirty-one consecutive patients were included in this study who were planned for parathyroidectomy due to primary hyperparathyroidism. They were studied with US, 4D-CT and dual-phase scintigraphy including SPECT/CT, and possible adenomas were identified in each imaging modality. Imaging data were qu...
