[Contribution of a portable hand-held miniature gamma camera in surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism].
Primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis and radioguided surgery by (99m)Tc-MIBI scintigraphy have become more generalized during recent years. The recent creation of a new portable hand-held miniature gamma camera opens new perspectives for this technique. We present a preliminary study of three patients with primary hyperparathyroidism in whom intraoperative scintigraphy with portable hand-held miniature gamma camera has been shown to be useful.
