5 LOCATION OF ORTHOTOPIC AND ECTOPIC PARATHYROID GLANDS AND ADENOMAS
6 HYPERPARATHYROIDISM (1) PRIMARY: TUMORS (ADENOMAS-CARCINOMAS) HYPERPLASIA (2) SECONDARY: RENAL FAILURE => HYPERPLASIA
7 PARATHYROID GLAND SCINTIGRAPHY 201 Thallium+ 99m Tc-Pertechnetate(TcPTC) 99m Tc-SESTAMIBI+ 123 INa or TcPTC 99m Tc-SESTAMIBI 30min+120min imaging SPECT/CT ( 99m Tc-SESTAMIBI 30min+2hr)
8 PARATHYROID IMAGING RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS Single Photon agents for Planar and SPECT 201 Thallium 99m TcSestamibi Tl + Tl
9 PARATHYROID IMAGING RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS Pump Mitochondria Thallium Sestamibi
10 A patient is evaluated with clinical and laboratory finding suggesting hyperparathyroidism A Thallium / Technetium study is performed to see parathyroid adenoma
11 PARATHYROID ADENOMA (Primary) with Thallium-201 / Tc-99m Pertechnetate Subtraction Tl visualizes Tc-PT visualizes the Thyroid and Only the Thyroid the Parathyroid Adenoma Thallium Tc-Pertechnetate Subtraction Images show only the Parathyroid Adenoma Subtraction Images
12 A patient is referred for parathyroid adenoma The patient had right hemi-thyroidectomy to remove (50% by chance) an unidentified potentially orthotopic parathyroid adenoma The patient had a Thallium-201 / Tc-99m-Pertechnetate study now
13 PARATHYROID ADENOMA (Primary) MEDIASTINAL THALLIUM PERTECHNETATE Salivary glands Hemi-thyroid Mediastinal parathyroid adenoma
14 Enters Sestamibi (MIBI) Sestamibi has higher Sensitivity than Thallium for Parathyroid adenomas but also While Sestamibi is washed out from the thyroid gland it stays in the parathyroid O Docherty et al JNM 1992, 33:
15 EARLY AND LATE IMAGING WITH MIBI PARATHYROID LESION: AREA OF PRESISTENT ACTIVITY LOCALIZATION RATE 90% (19/21) FOR ADENOMA Taillefere et al JNM 1992; 33:
16 (Surgical) Therapy of PTH-Adenomas the Miami Approach The effort of the surgeon: Localization and Complete Excision of all Hyperfunctioning Tissue (this can be a difficult and lengthy operation) Hypothesis: Exact Preoperative Localization by MIBI-SPECT helps identify easier and faster the Adenoma(s) Intraoperative monitoring of PTH confirms the total excision of all abnormal tissue These may improve results and shorten the operation

58 MIBI-SPECT/RPJ IN PARATHYROIDECTOMY THE UM EXPERIENCE Preoperative scintigraphy (MIBI-SPECT/RPJ) Intraoperative measurements of PTH (QPTH) Total patients studied: 75 Patients operated: 58 (1 0 :52,2 0 :4,MEN:2) SPECT: Sensitivity = 94%, Specificity = 92% SPECT+QPTH: 98% cure rate in 30%less time
59 INITIAL RESULTS OF SCINTIGRAPHY 36 PATIENTS (36 STUDIES) WITH PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM FINDINGS SPECT PLANAR POSITIVE CONFUSING/QUESTIONABLE 1 8 NEGATIVE 3 6 THERE WERE 2 CASES WITH MEDIASTINAL TUMORS
60 CORRELATION OF 99m Tc-SESTAMIBI IMAGING WITH OPERATIVE FINDINGS OPERATED: 22 PATIENTS (JAN. 5, 1994) RESULTS SPECT/R PLANAR ACCURATE LOCALIZATION CONFUSING IMAGE 1 5 FALSE NEGATIVE - 1
61 RESULTS (PRELIMINARY) TOTAL PATIENTS : 49 FOCI IDENTIFIED: ONE TWO THREE FOUR MEDIASTINAL PATIENTS : OPERATED PATIENTS: 39 TUMORS EXCISED: ONE TWO THREE MEDIASTINAL PATIENTS : TUMORS NOT FOUND: 1 (MEDIASTINAL,UNACCESSIBLE)
62 RESULTS (PRELIMINARY) CON T TUMORS EXCISED BUT NO CURE: 3 (SCAN IDENTIFIED ADDITIONAL TUMOR BUT ASSAY/INTERPRETATION ERROR) LESIONS MIMICKING PARATHYROID ADENOMA: 3 1. THYROID ADENOMA 2. LYMPH NODES (NORMAL/LYMPHOMA)
63 USEFULNESS OF SPECT SESTAMIBI FOR LOCALIZATION OF PARATHYROID ADENOMAS IT IS MORE SENSITIVE THAN PLANAR IMAGING IDENTIFIES EXACT LOCATION OF LESION (DEPTH) AND RESULTS IN FASTER RECONGNITIION OF LESIONS AND SHORTENING OF THE OPERATION TIME BY 50% AN AVERAGE TIME OF SAME SURGEON 90--> 36 min A MINIMUM OPERATIVE TIME (SKIN TO SKIN) 13 min ENABLES OPERATION ON AN OUTPATIENT BASIS
64 CONCLUSION THE PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION OF PARATHYROID ADENOMAS WITH SPECT 99m Tc-SESTAMIBI AND THE INTRAOPERATIVE QPTH MEASUREMENT RESULTED IN BETTER PATIENT CARE AND THEY WERE ALSO COST EFFECTIVE REDUCING OPERATING TIME AND HOSPITALIZATION
