From: Preoperative imaging for hyperparathyroidism often takes upper parathyroid adenomas for lower adenomas

Figure 2

Upper parathyroid adenoma localised inferiorly by ultrasound and [99mTc]pertechnetate/MIBI SPECT/CT. (a,b) Transverse and longitudinal ultrasound sections. In (b), only the lower part of the thyroid is seen. (c–e) Fused [99mTc]pertechnetate/MIBI SPECT/CT axial, sagittal and coronal slices. (f–h) Corresponding CT slices. The adenoma (arrows) is seen adjacent to the inferior third of the right thyroid lobe but was surgically revealed to be an upper adenoma.
