Various invasive and noninvasive localizing tests are available for the evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism. The surgical success in primary intervention exceeds 90% without localization studies. However, localization tests are absolutely essential for re-exploration and in certain select circumstances, even in primary exploration. The traditional noninvasive localization studies include the sonogram, thallium-technetium scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this report is to review our recent experience with sestamibi scan. The sestamibi scan appears to be the most sensitive and accurate noninvasive test available today.
