Use of four-dimensional computed tomography to aid parathyroid localisation in primary hyperparathyroidism in British surgical practice
4DCT is an effective first-line imaging modality before first-time parathyroidectomy for PHPT in patients aged >60 years as well as in cases of reoperation. Use as the first-line imaging modality in younger patients may reduce overall radiation exposure by minimising the need for additional imaging, but further study is needed in this age group.
