title: [Diagnostic imaging in the detection of parotid adenoma. Review of the literature and personal experience with the combined use of computerized tomography and MRI].
abstract: In this report we reviewed the role of Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance and 99Tc-Sestamibi Scintigraphy for the detection of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with biochemical evidence of hyperparathyroidism. We also report our personal experience with CT and RM.
