Accumulation of /sup 201/Tl-chloride in a parathyroid adenoma

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)

A /sup 201/Tl-chloride scan was performed on a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism. /sup 201/Tl-chloride accumulated in the region of the right lower thyroidal pole and a diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma was confirmed intraoperatively. /sup 201/Tl-chloride imaging of a hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland seems to be useful for the detection and preoperative localization of a parathyroid adenoma.
