Abstract: | In a case of primary hyperparathyroidism, a palpable nodule, at the base of the right lobe of the thyroid, proved cool during 99mTc scanning, but hot when scanned with radiocesium. The uptake of this tracer was higher than the uptake of 75Se-selenomethionine after suppression with T3.The authors discuss the possibility of cases of false-positive radiocesium uptake in extrathyroid nodules, and in particular, the use of this tracer for the detection of parathyroid adenoma by scanning. |
