摘要
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the value of intravenously contrast-enhanced CT in conjunction with Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma. Methods One hundred ninety-two patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were enrolled in the study between May 2015 and May 2017. The patients underwent a preoperative "one-stop shop" examination with Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT/CT by using dual time-point (10 and 90 minutes) protocol and both nonenhanced CT and contrast-enhanced CT acquisition in the arterial and venous phase, 35 and 75 seconds, respectively, after contrast medium injection start. For 149 patients, the imaging results could be correlated to those at surgery and histopathology. Results The median adenoma weight was 330 mg. The addition of contrast-enhanced CT increased the sensitivity from 81.1% to 89.9% (P = 0.003). The specificity of nonenhanced SPECT/CT was similar to contrast-enhanced CT (96.1% vs 97.9%; P = 0.077). For patients with uniglandular disease (n = 140, 94.0%), the sensitivity increased from 86.4% to 93.6% (P = 0.021) and the specificity from 96.2% to 97.9% (P = 0.118) by adding contrast-enhanced CT. In patients with multiglandular disease (n = 9, 6.0%), adding contrast-enhanced CT improved detection sensitivity from 42.1% to 63.2%. However, these patients were few and significance was not reached (P = 0.125). Conclusions In this cohort, with generally small parathyroid adenomas, the sensitivity in preoperative localization was greatly improved by adding contrast-enhanced CT to Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT/CT.
