Atlas of Sonography of Parathyroid

More about the book

This comprehensive atlas addresses both common and uncommon parathyroid disorders encountered in radiological practice, serving as an illustrative database with numerous high-quality images showcasing the diverse imaging features of parathyroid nodules and their correlation with other imaging modalities, including videos. It details typical and atypical ultrasound features, color Doppler findings, and Sestamibi correlations. The nodules range from small sub-centimeter sizes (6-15 mm), often resulting in negative sestamibi scans, making diagnostic ultrasound crucial for management. Larger nodules can exceed the size of the thyroid gland, leading to missed diagnoses on initial imaging. The chapters offer scanning tips, pitfalls, and detail cases of parathyroid nodules diagnosed via ultrasound in Sestamibi-negative scenarios, including localization of additional nodules and parathyroid carcinoma. Correlations with surgical findings and relevant histopathology images are included. This resource is designed for radiologists, ENT surgeons, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, endocrinologists, nephrologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists involved in managing parathyroid disorders.
