Correlation between Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scan findings and parathormon and calcium levels in patient with hyperparathyroidism.

Conclusions: Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scan findings are closely correlated to PTH level in both primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism as well as Ca level in primary hyperparathyroidism subgroup. A cutoff value of PTH of 35 pmol/l was the best cutoff values to predict a positive PS in the entire study population.
