Parathyroid four-dimensional (4D) CT is an increasingly used and powerful tool for
preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid tissue in the setting of primary …

Importance Identifying parathyroid glands correctly before a surgical procedure is essential
to perform minimally invasive surgery. First-line tests with discordant or negative results …

Importance Accurate preoperative localization of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is an
important and challenging issue for a successful parathyroidectomy. Although new imaging …

Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common endocrine pathology, and it
is due to a single parathyroid adenoma in 80–85 per cent of patients. Near-infrared …

The goal of parathyroid imaging in hyperparathyroidism is not diagnosis, rather it is the
localization of the cause of hyperparathyroidism for planning the best therapeutic approach …

Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is the treatment of choice for symptomatic primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). It is also the treatment of choice in asymptomatic PHPT with …

Hyperparathyroidism is defined as excessive parathyroid hormone production. The
diagnosis is made through biochemical testing, in which imaging has no role. However …

Chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder may persist after successful kidney
transplantation. Persistent hyperparathyroidism has been identified in up to 80% of patients …

We sought to systematically evaluate diagnostic performance of four-dimensional computed
tomography (4D-CT) in the localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands (HPGs) in …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In parathyroid CT, a noncontrast phase aids discrimination
of parathyroid lesions (not iodine-containing) from thyroid tissue (iodine-containing). When …
