Comparison of Five Parathyroid Scintigraphic Protocols
Figure 5
A c-sestamibi focal uptake inferior to the thyroid seen in the anterior image acquired with a pinhole collimator. c-sestamibi (a), 123I (b), and subtraction image (c). All physicians interpreted this uptake as an abnormal parathyroid gland. The same patient seen in 123I/c-sestamibi subtraction SPECT/CT images (transversal (d), sagittal (e), and coronal (f)). Focal uptake was due to bone uptake in the cervical vertebra.
