title: Ectopic parathyroid gland. Localization with thallium-201 SPECT.
abstract: Dual isotope Tl-201/Tc-99m subtraction is a useful technique for localization of abnormal parathyroid glands. A case of tomographic localization of nonsubtracted Tl-201 to a mediastinal parathyroid is reported and the possible benefit of this method discussed.
