  • Title: Intraoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma using 99Mtechnetium sestamibi.
    Author: Burns C, Oppenheimer M, Wheeler K.
    Journal: S D J Med; 1994 Jun; 47(6):202-4. PubMed ID: 8023130.
    Abstract:
    We herein illustrate an unusual but very helpful maneuver in the localization of parathyroid adenomas that have proven difficult to find at initial surgical exploration. This case also illustrates how metabolically active thyroid tumors can interfere with the localization of parathyroid tumors when using the technetium-thallium subtraction scan technique, and a possible way of overcoming such interference.
