The Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma [PDF]

Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 1998
To evaluate the cumulative costs of failure to identify the ectopic parathyroid adenoma when exploration without preoperative localization is performed and to compare these costs with the expenses of routine preoperative localization in every patient.A consecutive series of 59 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism studied with preoperative scans ...

Relative Contributions of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi Scintigraphy, Intraoperative Gamma Probe Detection, and the Rapid Parathyroid Hormone Assay to the Surgical Management of Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

Archives of Surgery, 2000
Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scintigraphy, intraoperative gamma probe detection, and the rapid parathyroid hormone assay have been used to permit a directed operation in patients with hyperparathyroidism. We hypothesized that the coordinated use of these techniques might be particularly useful in patients who require a second operation for ...

Complete improvement in a patient with multiple irreversible defects of the left ventricle on 99m technetium-sestamibi SPECT after percutaneous coronary intervention. [PDF]

, 2012
99mTc-sestamibi has been investigated as a potential viability marker; initial studies have shown good concordance between 201Tl and 99mTc-sestamibi activities in both viable and nonviable myocardium.

The association of rate pressure product (RPP) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) findings: A preliminary study [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction: The product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure, termed as rate-pressure product (RPP), is a very reliable indicator of myocardial oxygen demand and is widely used clinically.

Severe Hypercalcemia as Presentation of Atypical Cystic Parathyroid Adenoma: A Case Report

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Because of their similarities with parathyroid carcinomas, atypical parathyroid adenomas constitute a challenge for pathologists. The diagnosis of this kind of parathyroid tumor also can be difficult for clinicians because of the low accuracy of imaging ...
