Diagnostic value of four-dimensional computed tomography and four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging in primary hyperparathyroidism when first-line imaging was inadequate.

CONCLUSION: Four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging had high accuracy with fast dynamic imaging in detecting parathyroid adenomas. When the first-line imaging methods were negative or inconclusive, four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging should be considered primarily since it is cost effective in Turkey and emits no radiation.
