Accuracy of Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography and Different Imaging Modalities in Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

ABSTRACT: Background This study aimed to compare the accuracy of different imaging modalities in the preoperative localization of parathyroid pathology in primary hyperparathyroidism. Methodology This prospective study enrolled 70 patients who were biochemically diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism between 2021 and 2022 at our center. Patients underwent scanning using three imaging modalities, namely, Tc99m sestamibi scan (sestamibi), parathyroid ultrasonography, and four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT). A descriptive analysis was performed to determine and compare the respective localizing sensitivities. Results The most common site of parathyroid adenoma (PA) was the left inferior parathyroid gland, seen in 28 (40%) patients. Three patients had false-positive imaging studies with no p
