DOI: 10.21037/qims-22-584
Abstract: Background It is well known that primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is one of the most common endocrine disorders. Precise preoperative adenoma localization is essential for increasing PHPT cure rate. Conventional localization techniques include neck ultrasound, 99m-Tc-sestamibi… read more here.
