A Meta-analysis of Preoperative Localization Techniques for Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Abstract
BackgroundReported accuracy of preoperative localization imaging for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) varies. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of ultrasound, sestamibi-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) as preoperative localization strategies.MethodsA meta-analysis was performed of studies investigating the accuracy of ultrasound, sestamibi-SPECT, and …
