Efficacy of additional lateral pinhole and SPECT/CT imaging in dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy for localising parathyroid pathologies in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: a single-institution experience.
Purpose: Parathyroid imaging with dual-phase technetium-99m methoxyisobutrylizonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI) scintigraphy serves as an important prerequisite for the identification of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) for a successful targeted parathyroidectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of additional lateral imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) versus conventional planar imaging for locating parathyroid pathologies in patients with PHPT.
Materials and methods: A retrospective review was performed on 105 patients who underwent dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy and were surgically treated by parathyroidectomy. Dual-phase Tc-99m-MIBI planar scintigraphy with additional lateral pinhole views and SPECT/CT imaging was performed on a routine basis, as per departmental protocol. Comparison study between imaging modalities was done by patient-based analysis and scintigraphy results were compared with the clinical findings, biochemical markers, and histopathological findings.
Results: Sensitivity and specificity for anterior planar dual-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy were 78.8 and 80%, respectively. In comparison, lateral pinhole scan and SPECT/CT alone were found to have sensitivities of 85.9 and 90.9%, respectively, with the same specificity. Sensitivity decreased in patients with normocalcaemia and multiglandular disease. The mean adenoma weight and size for true-positive studies were significantly higher than those for false-negative or false-positive studies.
Conclusion: SPECT/CT provided the highest diagnostic accuracy for preoperative identification of parathyroid lesions in PHPT patients. Lateral pinhole imaging offers comparable sensitivity and aids in adenoma localisation when SPECT/CT is unavailable.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
