Mediastinal parathyroid adenoma: a new method of localization. 1984

C S Ubhi, and J G Hardy, and C A Pegg

201Tl-thallous chloride/99mTc sodium pertechnetate subtraction scanning is a simple and accurate means to demonstrate enlarged parathyroid glands. We report a case in which the intra-operative location of a mediastinal adenoma was greatly facilitated by using a probe radiation detector following intravenous injection of 201Tl-thallous chloride. We believe this is the first reported use of this technique in parathyroid surgery.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
