Comparison of SPET/CT, SPET and planar imaging using 99mTc-MIBI as independent techniques to support minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism: A meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Our present meta-analysis showed that using (99m)Tc-MIBI, combining anatomical information of CT and functional abnormalities on SPET, as presented on SPET/CT was by far more sensitive and accurate than SPET or planar scintigraphy in localizing PHPT lesions. We firmly believe that this technique will be the main diagnostic means, to detect PHPT lesions and support minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. PMID: 26187212 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
