The cost-effectiveness of sestamibi scanning compared to bilateral neck exploration for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism
Abstract
This article presents a cost-effectiveness analysis to determine whether preoperative imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi for detection and treatment of solitary adenomas associated with primary hyperparathyroidism is cost-effective compared with routine bilateral neck exploration.
