Abstract:Objective: To detect the value of high frequency ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing parathyroid adenoma(PTA) and complications. Methods: Twelve patients who had suffered parathyroid adenoma and undergone ultrasonography were reviewed. Their gallbladder, pancreas, kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate and painful soft tissue were examined by ultrasound. Results: High frequency probes are very useful in detection both the nature and the location of parathyroid adenoma. Moreover, we have found that 12MHz probe is more valuable than 7.5MHz probe in detection small masses. Color Doppler could provide more information about blood supply of the mass, and was very useful in differentiating parathyroid mass from thyroid tumor. In this study we found PTA complicated renal stone in 7 cases, bladder stones in 3 cases, gallbladder stone in 2 cases, lower exteremity soft tissue calcification in 1 case, prostate calcification in 2 cases, repeatedly pancreatitis and pancreatic stone in 1 case. Conclusion: High frequency ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound contributes to the diagnosis of PTA and its complications.
