Sestamibi scan was done using a double isotope technique with technetium
sestamibi (approximately 22.0 mCi [81 MBq]) with computer subtraction of iodine I 123 thyroid scan (1.0 mCi [37 MBq]) including all three views and single-photon emission computed tomography images.
Values of ultrasonography,
sestamibi scintigraphy, and intraoperative measurement of 1-84 PTH for unilateral neck exploration of primary hyperparathyroidism.
Negative imaging studies for primary hyperparathyroidism are unavoidable: correlation of
sestamibi and high-resolution ultrasound scanning with histological analysis in 150 patients.
Therefore, there is a need for further investigations such as neck ultrasound,
sestamibi scan, CT imaging, 4D CT, and MRI [15, 16].
A scintigraphy with Tc99m
sestamibi (MIBI) was performed in which a pathological hypercaptation was observed at the level of the left inferior thyroid.
Sestamibi scan ((99m)Tc) displayed a dominant right-sided neck lesion with minimal uptake of technetium.
A scintigraphy was performed with
sestamibi that showed myocardial ischemia of small-to-moderate extension in the anteroseptal and inferoapical regions of the left ventricle (LV).
Parathyroid technetium scintiscan (99mTc
Sestamibi; Technetium-99 MIBI; methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile) was requisite and revealed left lower parathyroid adenoma (Figure 6).
Berman, "Myocardial perfusion imaging with technetium-99m
sestamibi SPECT in the evaluation of coronary artery disease," Am.
Imaging studies can easily mistake ITPAs for thyroid nodules as they both show increased uptake on technetium [sup.99m]Tc
sestamibi scans and are hypoechoic on ultrasound.
