Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the use of a chemical shift-based water–fat separation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method, and time-resolved contrast-enhanced MRI at 3 T for improved presurgical localization of parathyroid adenomas.

Methods

Twenty-five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent MRI, which was reviewed by two experienced neuroradiologists who were blinded to Tc-99m sestamibi imaging and operative results.

Results

Overall, MRI detected 16 adenomas in 25 patients (sensitivity 64%, positive predictive value 67%), while sestamibi detected 18 of 25 adenomas (sensitivity 72%, positive predictive value 90%). Importantly, MRI was able to detect adenomas in four (57%) of the seven patients whose disease was missed by sestamibi analysis. MRI demonstrated excellent image quality and fat suppression by using a chemical shift-based water–fat separation technique. The time-resolved MRI was considered to be less helpful, although in some cases it was indispensable.

Conclusions

MRI is an excellent adjunct for preoperative parathyroid localization. The advent of improved fat suppression techniques in the neck, including chemical shift–based water–fat separation, is critical to its utility. Although time-resolved MRI was not always helpful, it was crucial in certain cases. It may prove to be more useful with the development of faster scanning techniques.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
