^99mTechnetium Sestamibi-¹²³Iodine Scintigraphy Is More Accurate Than ^99mTechnetium Sestamibi Alone before Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Table 2

Accuracies of preoperative localization studies.

	Planar scintigraphy with; ^99mTc-sestamibi	Planar scintigraphy with; ^123I-^99mTc-sestamibi
Overall accuracy (95% CI)	34.9% (29.2–40.6)	63.4% (57.4–69.0)
Accuracy for one scintigraphic finding	34.2% (28.5–40.2)	60.9% (54.9–66.8)
Accuracy in multiglandular disease^*	9.7% (0.6–18.8)	14.6% (3.8–25.5)

P value < 0.001 between ¹²³I-^99mTc-sestamibi and ^99mTc-sestamibi-scintigraphy.
^*The scan revealed correctly all pathological glands without false negative findings.
