Overview
Good quality preoperative evaluation favors post operative results. 4-Dimentional CT scan is an investigation for preoperative localizing of hyperfunctioning pituitary gland. 4D-CT provides extremely detailed images of neck in multiple planes and enables the visualization of difference in hyper-functioning parathyroid gland compared with normal parathyroid glands and other structures in the neck on the basis on perfusion characteristics ( rapid uptake and washout). 4D-CT is used particularly in case of reoperation. The major disadvantage of 4D-CT is significant radiation exposure associated with scanning the patient multiple times.
CT scan
- 4-Dimentional CT scan is an investigation for preoperative localizing of hyperfunctioning pituitary gland.[1]
- 4D-CT may be used for preoperative localization of hyper-functioning parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism. 4D-CT is significantly more sensitive than sestamibi imaging and ultrasound for precise (quadrant) localization of hyper-functioning parathyroid glands.[2]
- The name 4D-CT refers to 3-dimensional CT scanning plus additional dimension of changes observed with respect to time as perfusion of contrast occurs. The principle is similar to CT angiography.
- 4D-CT provides extremely detailed images of neck in multiple planes and enables the visualization of difference in hyper-functioning parathyroid gland compared with normal parathyroid glands and other structures in the neck on the basis on perfusion characteristics ( rapid uptake and washout).
- 4D-CT has a sensitive of 88% in preoperative lateralizing hyper-functioning parathyroid glands to one side of neck.[3]
- 4D-CT has a sensitive of 79-88% in preoperative localizing the hyper-functioning parathyroid gland to the correct quadrant of the neck (right inferior, right superior, left inferior, or left superior).[4]
- 4D-CT has a specificity of 75-100% in preoperative localizing the hyper-functioning parathyroid gland.[5]
- 4D-CT enables an improved planning preoperativively, particularly in case of reoperation.
- A modified technique of 4D-CT/Ultrasound (Mod 4D-CT/US) has a sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 96% for lateralizing the hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands to one side of the neck. Mod 4D-CT/US has a sensitivity of 82% and specificity of 93% for localizing the hyper-functioning parathyroid gland to the correct quadrant of the neck (right inferior, right superior, left inferior, or left superior). Mod 4D-CT/US has a positive predictive vaue of 92% for single-gland disease and 75% for multi-gland disease. Mod 4D-CT/US has a negative predictive value of 73% for single-gland disease and 92% multi-gland disease.[6]
- The major disadvantage of 4D-CT is significant radiation exposure associated with scanning the patient multiple times.
