摘要
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common and potentially debilitating endocrine disorder for which surgery is the only curative treatment. Preoperative imaging is always recommended, even in cases of conventional bilateral neck exploration, with a recognized role for 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy in depicting ectopic parathyroid lesions. Scintigraphy can also play a major role in guiding a targeted, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. However, the ability to recognize multiple-gland disease (MGD) varies greatly depending on the imaging protocol used. Preoperative diagnosis of MGD is important to reduce the risks of conversion to bilateral surgery or failure. In this article we discuss imaging strategies before first surgery as well as in the case of repeat surgery for persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. We describe a preferred algorithm and alternative options. Dual-tracer 99mTc-sestamibi/123I subtraction scanning plus neck ultrasound is the preferred first-line option. This approach should improve MGD detection and patient selection for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Second-line imaging procedures in case of negative or discordant first-line imaging results are presented. High detection rates can be obtained with 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT or with 4-dimensional CT. The risk of false-positive results should be kept in mind, however. Adding a contrast-enhanced arterial-phase CT acquisition to conventional 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT can be a way to improve accuracy. We also briefly discuss other localization procedures, including 11C-methionine PET/CT, MRI, ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration, and selective venous sampling for parathyroid hormone measurement.
