Abstract
In parathyroid disease, classical scintigraphic techniques remain the first choice for localizing hyperfunctional parathyroid glands in primary known hyperparathyroidism and in case of secondary, tertiary, and recurrent hyperparathyroidism. When classical scintigraphic techniques are not diagnostic, however, (11)C-methionine seems to offer a good imaging alternative.Entities:
