Parathyroid CT Scan
Parathyroid CT Scan
Some radiologists skilled at viewing parathyroid tumors are able to locate a parathyroid adenoma with high resolution CT scan. Although this is not always a first line modality; if a Sestamibi scan of the parathyroids and ultrasound are negative then a CT of the parathyroids is performed to help identify a parathyroid adenoma in an aberrant location. A CT scan is quicker and less expensive than an MRI.
