Description

The objective is to enlighten the contribution of the parathyroid scintigraphy with MIBI-99mTc in the detection of infra-centimetric parathyroid adenomas. Conclusions: the small low intense visible centres with a single time of scintigraphy can correspond to adenomas. The association parathyroid scintigraphy with MIBI-99mTc to a cervical echography contributes to raise the sensitivity in the detection of parathyroid infra-centimetric adenomas. (N.C.)
