The diagnosis of parathyroid diseases by imaging still has some intrinsic technical limita- tions due to the differential diagnosis of different structures of the neck that mimic the parathyroid glands.

Abstract
The diagnosis of parathyroid diseases by imaging still has some intrinsic technical limita- tions due to the differential diagnosis of different structures of the neck that mimic the parathyroid glands. In this view, ultrasound (US) is an established, low-cost, and non-invasive imaging tech- nique that still represents the first-line approach for evaluating patients with parathyroid disease. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the applications of USs in clinical practice, discussing the histopathological and US characteristics of the parathyroid glands in normal and pathological conditions, the advantages of preoperative imaging, and novel updates on the most useful and currently available multiparameter US techniques.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
