Location of parathyroid adenomas by thallium-201 and technetium-99m subtraction scanning

A E Young et al. Br Med J (Clin Res Ed). .

Abstract

Solitary parathyroid adenomas were correctly located before surgery in 20 out of 21 cases by using 201mT1 and 99mTc in a subtraction technique. The technique was not useful in identifying hyperplastic parathyroid glands. The technique is recommended as a useful procedure before surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
