Nuclear Imaging is now a very well established technique used for the investigation of hyperparathyroidism. Sestamibi scintigraphy allows the detection of parathyroid adenomas and the position of any ectopic glands.
SPECT-CT parathyroid imaging
We routinely use high resolution hybrid SPECT-CT Imaging as part of our parathyroid scans. This enables more sensitive and accurate identification of any enlarged parathyroid glands.
SPECT-CT combined with ultrasound
We are also able to offer a complete diagnostic package for the elvaluation of hyperparathyroidism to include both nuclear imaging (SPECT-CT) and specialist neck ultrasound.
This provides the referring clinician with the best possible information in order to accurately guide further therapy.
