Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder usually due to hyperfunctioning
parathyroid glands (HPs). Surgical removal of the HPs is the main treatment for PHPT,
making the correct detection and localization of HPs crucial to guiding targeted and
minimally invasive surgical treatment in patients with PHPT. To date, different imaging
methods have been used to detect and localize HPs, including radiology, nuclear medicine,
and hybrid techniques.
