Positive (99m)Tc-MIBI and the subtraction parathyroid scan are related to intact parathyroid hormone but not to total plasma calcium in primary hyperparathyroidism.

CONCLUSION: In patients with pHPT, the (99m)Tc-MIBI PS and the subtraction PS showed a strong correlation to iPTH (P=0.003) but not to total plasma calcium levels indicating the importance of both the (99m)Tc-MIBI and the subtraction parathyroid scans to indicate pHPT.
