The EANM practice guidelines for parathyroid imaging
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
The guidelines recommend a combination of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT and cervical ultrasonography as the first-line imaging strategy for hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. Other modalities like 18F-labeled choline PET/CT, 4D-CT, and MRI can be considered as second-line options in specific situations, particularly for patients with negative or inconclusive initial imaging or those with recurrent disease.

Scientists found the best way to find a tiny gland in your neck that's working too hard is by using two special camera tests together. If those don't show it, they have other clever ways to look for it.

Explicación de la calificación
This is a comprehensive and well-structured guideline that provides valuable recommendations for parathyroid imaging. It covers various imaging modalities and discusses their strengths and limitations. However, some updates and a clearer algorithm for test selection would further enhance its utility.
