Abstract:Background: Radiological localization imaging aids in the identification of abnormal parathyroid glands resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), thereby facilitating minimally invasive parathyroid surgery. Sometimes initial imaging may fail to identify the abnormal gland and imaging may therefore be repeated. This study explored patient outcomes of repeated parathyroid localization imaging, after initial negative gland localization, at a United Kingdom institution.Methodology: Data was retrospectively … Show more
