Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for hyperparathyroidism: current status and prospects
International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2022 Background Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is classified into primary HPT (PHPT), secondary HPT (SHPT), tertiary HPT (THPT), and pseudohyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid surgery is generally reserved for patients with symptomatic PHPT and asymptomatic patients ...
