Recurrent or residual hyperparathyroidism and thyroid cancer effectively evaluated with scintigraphy.
Re-exploration of the neck for residual or recurrent hyperparathyroidism or thyroid cancer is technically challenging and preoperative imaging is very useful for guiding surgery. For both pathologies, nuclear medicine techniques have emerged as the primary preoperative imaging modalities. The precise techniques used continue to evolve as new equipment and technology (fusion imaging) become available. The role of.
