Clinical or subclinical hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders.
Excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone is most frequently caused by an adenoma of≥ …

The present guidelines were issued by the Parathyroid Task Group of the European
Association of Nuclear Medicine. The main focus was imaging of primary …

Purpose This paper is a review of the evidence base to produce recommendations for the
use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH), radioguided parathyroidectomy (RGP) …

Introduction Parallel to the advances in diagnostic imaging using positron emission
tomography (PET), and availability of new systemic treatment options, the treatment …

Background Positron emission tomography (PET) has become an invaluable part of patient
evaluation in surgical oncology. PET is less than optimal for detecting lesions< 1 cm, and the …

Parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
and may be indicated in patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism if they do …

The pathological examination of parathyroid glands is an essential component of the
evaluation of hyperparathyroidism. Traditionally, this has involved intraoperative frozen …

Purpose Radio-guided surgery (RGS) is an intra-operative localising technique which
enables identification of tissue “marked” by a specific radiotracer injected before surgery. It is …

Intraoperative localization of PET‐positive recurrent/metastatic lesions can be facilitated
using a hand‐held PET probe. PET probe is a high‐energy gamma probe designed to …

Hypothesis The kinetics of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi (MIBI) in primary
