摘要

Abstract Modification of 4-dimensional computed tomography(4D-CT)technique with volume rendering reconstruc-tions and significant dose reduction is a safe and ac-curate method of pre-operative localization for primary hyperparathyroidism.Modified low dose 4D-CT with volume rendering reconstructions provides precise preoperative localization and is associated with a sig-nificant reduction in radiation exposure compared to classic preoperative localizing techniques.It should be considered the preoperative localization study of choice for primary hyperparathyroidism.
