Simultaneous dual-isotope SPECT imaging for the detection and characterization of parathyroid pathology.
A technique is described involving simultaneous, dual-isotope SPECT imaging. Using 123I and 201TI, a patient study is presented, demonstrating the clinical utility of this technique in the detection and characterization of parathyroid pathology. The use of this technique in other clinical situations is discussed.
