Abstract
Not all parathyroid glands [in humans] can be visualized by CT [computed tomography] or ultrasound and, therefore, cannot be aspirated using these techniques. The localization of a parathyroid gland by arteriography and needle aspiration under fluoroscopic guidance is reported on. This technique can be used to confirm a diagnosis of hypervascular parathyroid tissue that cannot otherwise be confirmed.
