Case report of a parathyroid adenoma demonstrated by dual tracer (T1-201 and Tc-99m) subtraction scan.
It is generally agreed that the Technetium-Thallium Subtraction Scan is a reliable method for locating abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with clinical and biochemical evidence of parathyroid hyperactivity. This report illustrates the value of scintigraphy in diagnosis and in the subsequent surgical management of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism.
