Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) of the neck and mediastinum was performed in 15 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Twenty-eight of 32 excised parathyroid glands weighing more than 500 mg were visualized preoperatively (87.5%). The visualization of enlarged parathyroid glands is valuable not only for localization, but also for unequivocal evidence of hyperparathyroidism.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
