Factors influencing sensitivity of Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy
Factors Sensitivity
Biochemical factors High serum calcium level[1] Increased
High serum parathyroid hormone level[1][2] Increased
Hypovitaminosis D [3]

(only in primary hyperparathyroidism)

Increased
Calcium channel blocker use[4]

(only in primary hyperparathyroidism)

Decreased
Gross and architectural factors Size (Large)[5][6] Increased
Multi-glandular disease[7] Decreased
Cytological factors Increased amount of cellular content[5][6]

(Chief cells and oxyphil cells)

Increased
Immunohistochemical factors Increased P-glycoprotien expression[8] Decreased
Note: P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a plasma membrane protein encoded by mammalian multidrug resistance gene (MDRI). Many drugs that are lipophilic and cationic at physiological pH interact with P-gp. Sestamibi is a lipophilic cationic on physioligical pH. P-gp acts as ATP-dependent efflux pump and prevents accumulation of sestamibi in parathyroid tissue. So, the uptake of sestamibi into parathyroid adenoma cells depends on the activity of the P-gp[9].
