Surgeon-Performed Ultrasound Is Superior to 99Tc-Sestamibi Scanning to Localize Parathyroid Adenomas in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Results in 516 Patients over 10 Years

Abstract

When performed by experienced surgeons, SUS is more accurate than MIBI for predicting the location of abnormal parathyroids in PHPT patients. For patients facing first-time surgery for PHPT, we now reserve MIBI for patients with unclear or negative SUS.
