Summary
This study tested a new approach where patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands causing high calcium) get only an ultrasound before surgery, instead of also having a radiation-based scan. 99 adults took part. If the ultrasound clearly showed the problem gland, they went straight to surgery; if not, they got the extra scan. The goal was to see if this simpler method is accurate enough to use routinely, which could reduce radiation exposure and make care more efficient.
