Parathyroid 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy: dual-tracer subtraction is superior to double-phase washout.

Technetium-99m sestamibi imaging for parathyroid adenoma localization has been performed using both dual-tracer subtraction and double-phase single-tracer washout techniques. The relative accuracy of these two techniques is uncertain. We have developed a modified imaging technique which combines both approaches and have directly compared them in a series of patients with surgically explored hyperparathyroidism.
