Bessent Rg scite author profile

An improved method for parathyroid scanning using thallium-201 and technetium-99m subtraction imaging is described. The technique successfully localised ten of eleven parathyroid adenomas confirmed at neck exploration. Two false-positive studies were encountered in patients with no adenoma at operation, probably due to thyroid nodules. The technique was less successful in identifying diffusely hyperplastic parathyroid glands and was negative in a single patient with recurrent, functional parathyroid carcinoma.
