Experience in parathyroid scanning.
In our experience, the low success rate of 75Se parathyroid studies does not justify continuance of the test as a routine diagnostic procedure. The initial results using the 99mTc O4--131I subtraction technique are encouraging but further experience is required in order to ascertain whether this procedure will justify a place as a routine test in the localization of parathyroid adenoma.
