Value of Dual-Phase ^99mTc-Sestamibi Scintigraphy With Neck and Thoracic SPECT/CT in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

The results of our study indicate that both early and delayed phase (99m)Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT should be performed in the preoperative evaluation of hemodialysis patients with sHPT due to chronic kidney disease. Performance of both early and delayed phase (99m)Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT did not increase the radiation dose compared with the use of only the early or the delayed phase.
