title: Thyroidography as a technique for localization of parathyroid adenomas.
abstract: Thyroidography was performed in seven patients with hyperparathyroidism. The technique accurately localized parathyroid adenomas in six patients. It was not useful in the patient with hyperplasia of the glands due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. There were no recognizable complications. Thyroidography is a simple technique, and we feel that it is useful in preoperative evaluation of patients with hyperparathyroidism.
