The role of anatomical and functional orientation in identification of parathyroid glands for patients with parathyroidectomy
<sup>99m</sup>Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT fusion imaging, paired with high-frequency ultrasound, can be utilized to diagnose SHPT preoperatively. The most common ectopia site is the left lower parathyroid gland, which is located primarily in the thymus and superior mediastinum. Understanding the functional anatomical distribution of the parathyroid glands is critical for developing effective surgical methods for secondary hyperparathyroidism.
