^99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography parathyroid imaging in the diagnosis of functional parathyroid cysts: an initial experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Functional parathyroid cysts (FPCs) are rare and difficult to diagnose with noninvasive methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of ^99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (^99mTc-MIBI) single-photon emission computed tomography/computerized tomography (SPECT/CT) parathyroid imaging in the diagnosis of FPCs and to account for its performance.

Methods

The data from 10 patients with suspected parathyroid cysts (PCs) who underwent ^99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT parathyroid imaging between 2012 and 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. The diagnostic value of ^99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT parathyroid imaging for FPCs was analyzed.

Results

Surgical resection was performed in six cases and parathyroid puncture was performed
