Parathyroid studies

Pertechnetate follow-up scan
  • Done if there's question on the sestamibi, can be more sensitive
  • Can eyeball planars and MIPs or can side by side with the sestamibi
    • Go to the sestamibi scan, take the transaxial, and view as PET/CT which should bring it to the top left
    • Pull the CT (series 2) to bottom left corner
    • Pull the pertechnetate transaxial to the top right
    • Align the transaxials to an area where you are confident there isn't abnormality first then link the two
