Overview

Other imaging studies for parathyroid cancer include sestamibi scan, venous sampling, or PET scan.

Key Findings in Sestamibi Scan in Parathyroid Cancer

Key Findings in Venous Sampling

Key Findings in PET Scan

  • A PET scan uses radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) to detect changes in the metabolic activity of body tissues. A computer analyzes the radioactive patterns and makes 3-dimensional color images of the area being scanned. It is used to identify recurrent disease.
