    Imaging is not as reliable in patients with multiglandular parathyroid disease. In addition, size limitation of the abnormal gland can limit the detection by radionuclide scanning. SPECT (three-dimensional) imaging, as an adjunct to planar methods, may increase sensitivity and accuracy, [2] especially in cases of small parathymic adenomas.
