Minimally invasive radioguided parathyroid surgery using low dose Tc-99m-MIBI: comparison with standard high dose.

CONCLUSIONS: A new protocol of MIRP using low doses of Tc-99m-MIBI resulted in an excellent success rate. Comparing results of the study, we conclude that low-dose Tc-99m-MIBI may be preferred for identification of parathyroid adenomas intraoperatively by means of a gamma probe in PHPT patients because it appears to be as effective as high-dose Tc-99m-MIBI.
