Tc-99m sestamibi for detection of parathyroid adenoma: comparison of single and dual tracer imaging

Single and dual radionuclide techniques have been described in localization of parathyroid adenomas. Although single radionuclide imaging with Tc-99m sestamibi has many advantages, it can fail to demonstrate a parathyroid adenoma, which, in the case presented, is well demonstrated with dual radionuclide imaging. The authors recommend dual tracer imaging when searching for parathyroid adenoma
