Title: Technetium-99m-sestamibi SPECT localization of mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. Author: Teigen EL, Kilgore EJ, Cowan RJ, Albertson DA. Journal: J Nucl Med; 1996 Sep; 37(9):1535-7. PubMed ID: 8790213. Abstract: We report a case in which 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT was used to localize a middle mediastinum parathyroid adenoma that was not detected with planar sestamibi imaging on two previous occasions. Despite prior surgical exploration of the neck and mediastinum, the patient had a 20-yr history of hyperparathyroidism.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
