Abstract

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is an endocrine disease characterized by a hypercalcemic state due to hyper secretion of parathyroid hormone. Imaging in parathyroid disease (hyperparathyroidism) is aimed at localizing enlarged parathyroid glands after a biochemical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism has been made. By precisely identifying the number and location of abnormal parathyroid glands, surgical parathyroidectomy can be considered and planned.
