We compared our findings with an ex vivo counting method (\u201c20% rule\u201d) and frozen section results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY DESIGN AND SETTINGS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010five patients who were referred for surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism were studied. Maximum parathyroid to thyroid sestamibi uptake ratio (UR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>) was measured by use of preoperative dynamic scintigraphy. The interval between sestamibi injection and UR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> was defined as the optimal time to surgery. On the day of surgery, the patients received the same dose of sestamibi and were taken to the operating room at UR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> as determined by preoperative scintigraphy. Intraoperative in vivo gamma probe counts from parathyroid lesions were compared with in vivo contralateral background thyroid counts (in vivo\/Bkg) and to ex vivo parathyroid counts relative to postexcision background of the adjacent normal tissue (ex vivo\/Bkg).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 70 excised lesions were evaluated. In vivo\/Bkg counts obtained from parathyroid adenoma were significantly different from parathyroid hyperplasia (z = \u22123.093, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002) and other lesions (z = \u22123.958, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001). By receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, we found the cutoff value for the in vivo\/Bkg counts ratio to be 103% to differentiate parathyroid adenoma from hyperplasia with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 82.5, 65, and 74.4%, respectively. On the other hand, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the ex vivo\/Bkg method to differentiate parathyroid adenoma from hyperplasia with a cutoff value of 34.7 was found to be 70.8%, 60%, and 65.9%, respectively. The difference between the accuracy of these 2 tests was not significant statistically (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.137). Sensitivity of frozen section to differentiate parathyroid adenoma and hyperplasia was 76.2% and 33.3%, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patient\u2010specific optimal protocol for timing of sestamibi injection together with in vivo\/Bkg method is a useful alternative method in guiding the surgeon to differentiate parathyroid adenoma from parathyroid hyperplasia and other tissues and may help surgeons' decisions during the operation. Combined use of in vivo\/Bkg and ex vivo\/Bkg methods may give more accurate results than frozen section.<\/jats:p><jats:p>EBM rating:
