Abstract: OBJECTIVE:The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of preoperative US, CEUS, and 99mTc-MIBI scanning with SPECT/CT in localizing diseased parathyroid glands in cases of refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). MATERIAL AND METHODS:Using pathological results as the gold standard, we compared the operative findings with the preoperative localization of each modality in 73 nodules and evaluated the accuracy, and sensitivity of each modality and combinations of the four modalities. RESULTS:The sensitivity of US, CEUS, 99mTc-MIBI and SPECT/CT was 98.59%, 94.37%, 50.70% and 78.87%, respectively. US had the highest sensitivity of the four imaging methods and the diagnostic sensitivity of US and CEUS was superior to that of 99mTc-MIBI (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001) and SPECT/CT (p = 0.001 and p = 0.012). In addition, we found that the sensitivity of the combination of US with CEUS, US with 99mTc-MIBI and/or SPECT/CT, CEUS with 99mTc-MIBI and/or SPECT/CT, US with CEUS and two other imaging modalities (99mTc-MIBI and/or SPECT/CT) was 98.59%, 100%, 95.77%, and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The combination of US with SPECT/CT is the best choice for the comprehensive preoperative localization of glands in refractory SHPT. CEUS can elevate the accuracy of US in differential diagnosis via the interpretation of dynamic microvascular features.
