چکیده

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to analyze the relationship between the diagnostic ability of fused single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct) images in localization of parathyroid lesions and the size of adenomas or hyperplastic glands. methods: five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (phpt) and 4 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (shpt) were imaged 15 and 120 minutes after the intravenous injection of technetium99mmethoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mtc-mibi). all patients underwent surgery and 5 parathyroid adenomas and 10 hyperplastic glands were detected. pathologic findings were correlated with imaging results. results: the spect/ct fusion images were able to detect all parathyroid adenomas even with the greatest axial diameter of 0.6 cm. planar scintigraphy and spect imaging could not detect parathyroid adenomas with an axial diameter of 1.0 to 1.2 cm. four out of 10 (40%) hyperplastic parathyroid glands were diagnosed, using planar and spect imaging and 5 out of 10 (50%) hyperplastic parathyroid glands were localized, using spect/ct fusion images. conclusion: spect/ct fusion imaging is a more useful tool for localization of parathyroid lesions, particularly parathyroid adenomas, in comparison with planar and or spect imaging.

99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT imaging contribution in the diagnosis of patients with hyperparathyroidism

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is presented with increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion due to hyperfunctioning of one or more of the four parathyroid glands. Primary hyperparathyroidism (p-HPT) can be due to parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia or carcinoma of the parathyroid gland. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (s-HPT) is usually a response to hypocalcaemia and consecut...

SPECT/CT for secondary hyperparathyroidism

Objectives: To explore the diagnostic value of 99mTc-Sestamibi multiple-phase static planar imaging and SPECT/CT in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 40 cases of clinically diagnosed secondary hyperparathyroidism with multiple-phase static planar imaging, 15 min SPECT/CT fusion imaging, and ultrasonography. All cases were confirmed by pathological exam...

Role of SPECT and SPECT/CT in the Surgical Treatment of Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the outpatient population. This condition is usually the result of a single hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland. Targeted parathyroidectomy guided by intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IPM) through a small cervical incision has replaced traditional bilateral neck exploration (BNE) as the initial approach in the ...
