MRI may be helpful in the post-operative evaluation of hyper functioning parathyroid glands. MRI has similar sensitivity and positive predictive value as Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy for post-operative detection of hyper-functioning parathyroid glands. MRI with gadolinium and fat suppression is used for detection of ectopic parathyroid adenoma (particularly those located in mediastinum).
