- Title
SPUS Facilitates MIP.
- Authors
Miller, Barbra
- Abstract
The author comments on the study conducted which investigates the ability of the U.S. to correctly identify and lateralize enlarged parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). He asserts that the result of the study reveals a similar sensitivity and specificity for localization of an enlarged parathyroid gland whether performed by one of two high volume endocrine surgeons or by a single experienced radiologist from the same institution.
