scribed for locating abnormal parathyroid glands (1,2). This method proved to be highly successful in locating parathyroid adenomas larger than 5 mm in diam, but was less reliable in locating four-gland hyperplasia. We present a patient with persistent hypercalcemia and a focus of increased uptake on a substraction scintigram. This area was caused by an enlarged lymph node con taming a metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of the ovary. METHODS First, 20 mm after i.v. injection of 5 mCi ( 185 MBq) 99mTc as pertechnetate, an image of the thyroid is ob tamed with a gamma camera, with parallel-hole colli mator, peaked on the 140-keY photopeak of techne tium-99m. The image is stored in computer in X2 zoom magnification. Thereafter, without changing...
