PARATHYROID ASPIRATION DIRECTED BY ANGIOGRAPHY - AN ALTERNATIVE TO VENOUS SAMPLING RADIOLOGY Krudy, A. G., DOPPMAN, J. L., Marx, S. J., NORTON, J. A., Spiegel, A. M., Santora, A. C., AURBACH, G. D. 1984; 152 (1): 207-208
Abstract
Not all parathyroid glands can be visualized by CT or ultrasound and, therefore, cannot be aspirated using these techniques. We report the localization of a parathyroid gland by arteriography and needle aspiration under fluoroscopic guidance. This technique can be used to confirm a diagnosis of hypervascular parathyroid tissue that cannot otherwise be confirmed.
