“…10 The accuracy and sensitivity of sestamibi, which is less operator-dependent, is 70 to 100%. 11,12 Our overall sensitivity of 86% for ultrasound vs 70% for sestamibi is in line with these data, and with a previous study in our institute wherein ultrasound proved to be superior to sestamibi in patients with parathyroid adenoma. 10 Both ultrasound and sestamibi were less sensitive in patients with multinodular goiter than in those without (Table 4), in agreement with earlier studies.…”

“…The reported sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting parathyroid adenoma ranges from 40 to 90%, depending on the skill and experience of the radiologist 10 . The accuracy and sensitivity of sestamibi, which is less operator‐dependent, is 70 to 100% 11,12 . Our overall sensitivity of 86% for ultrasound vs 70% for sestamibi is in line with these data, and with a previous study in our institute wherein ultrasound proved to be superior to sestamibi in patients with parathyroid adenoma 10 …”
