摘要：

Subtraction scintigraphy with Tc-99m-pertechnetate and Tl-201-chloride is widely used for localizing the parathyroid gland, but the sensitivity of this method averages only 55% [1]. The sensitivity of scintigraphy is improved by using a combination of Tc-99m-sestamibi and iodine-123 [2]. Parathyroid adenomas can also be localized with Tc-99m-sestamibi alone by subtracting early images from late sequential images [3]. The fast washout of Tc-99m-sestamibi from the thyroid gland allows visualization of the parathyroid gland. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the findings of abnormalities of the parathyroid glands when using a combination of Tc-99m-sestamibi and iodine-123.
