Abstract:
Objective To explore nuclear medicine diagnostic method for parathyroid disease accompanied elevated serum parathyroid hormone(PTH)level.
Methods The images of 25 patients with parathyroid disease were obtained by SPECT99Tcm-MIBI double-phase parathyroid imaging and 99Tcmmethylene diphosphonate(99Tcm-MDP)whole-body static bone imaging.All subject were measured serum PTH, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase.
Results ① Serum PTH level increased to varying degrees in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT), secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT).②PHPT and SHPT showed significant change before and after surgery(t=6.24 and t=6.85, P < 0.01).③The whole-body static bone images of PHPT patients were characterized by metabolic bone disease images.The positive rates of 99Tcm-MIBI were above 90%.④Whole-body bone imaging results of SHPT patients showed complex and diverse caused by high background, increased uptakes mainly. 99Tcm-MIBI dual-phase parathyroid imaging showed hyperparathyroidism in varying degree, up to 56%or more.
Conclusion Determination of serum PTH combined SPECT for parathyroid and whole-body bone imaging showed high clinical value in diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease.
