Imaging Characteristics and Interpretation Strategy for Renal Hyperparathyroidism: A Retrospective 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography Study
Authors' conclusion
Unlike primary hyperparathyroidism, lesions in RHPT exhibited more type B enhancement, making them less readily identifiable in the arterial phase. Therefore, we propose a distinct imaging interpretation strategy to locate these problematic glands more efficiently.
