title: [Value of parathyroid scintigraphy in preoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma. Study apropos of 138 tests].
abstract: The authors have studied, about a total of 138 exams, the value of parathyroid nuclide scan. All the patients, who had primary hyper parathyroidism, have been operated upon. The results of parathyroid scintigraphy have been compared to the results of surgical exploration. Overall sensibility of the exam has been 80%, better with the MIBI (89%) than with the Thallium (78%). The specificity has also been better with the MIBI (95%) than with the Thallium (87%) with a global result of 88%). Computerized treatment of images with automatized subtraction especially studied in Institut Jean-Godinot, Rheims, explain the quality of these results.
