Primary hyperparathyroidism can be diagnosed by laboratory values, yet localization of the adenomas preoperatively has always presented difficulties. Dual isotope scintigraphy with technetium Tc 99m sodium pertechnetate and thallium Tl-201 chloride has recently been used for the localization of parathyroid adenomas. In this paper, we review our experience with scintigraphy in 53 patients suspected of having hyperparathyroidism. Based on favorable results, we recommend this technique for preoperative detection of parathyroid adenomas.
