Clinical trials: Head-of-bed
Parathyroid Neoplasms
Using X-Ray Dye to Locate Hidden Parathyroid Tumors
Occasionally tumors of the parathyroid gland cannot be detected by standard x-ray diagnostic procedures (CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds). In order for the tumor to be removed surgically it must first be localized.
