  • Title: Parathyroid aspiration directed by angiography: an alternative to venous sampling.
    Author: Krudy AG, Doppman JL, Marx SJ, Norton JA, Spiegel AM, Santora AC, Aurbach GD.
    Journal: Radiology; 1984 Jul; 152(1):207-8. PubMed ID: 6729114.
    Abstract:
    Not all parathyroid glands can be visualized by CT or ultrasound and, therefore, cannot be aspirated using these techniques. We report the localization of a parathyroid gland by arteriography and needle aspiration under fluoroscopic guidance. This technique can be used to confirm a diagnosis of hypervascular parathyroid tissue that cannot otherwise be confirmed.
