  • Title: Preliminary results of thallium 201 and technetium 99m subtraction scanning of parathyroid glands.
    Author: Wheeler MH, Harrison BJ, French AP, Leach KG.
    Journal: Surgery; 1984 Dec; 96(6):1078-82. PubMed ID: 6095480.
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of double isotope subtraction scanning with 201Tl and 99mTc was performed in 14 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Twelve of 13 adenomas and seven of seven hyperplastic glands were localized correctly by preoperative scanning. The technique appears useful for the identification of abnormal parathyroid glands before operation.
