Am I still eligible for MIP even though my parathyroid sestamibi scan is negative?
Often yes, for several reasons. Parathyroid sestamibi scans are known to be more accurate at specialty centers (80-90% sensitive) than at non-specialty centers (30-70% sensitive). In our experience, among patients with negative scans performed elsewhere, more than half end up having a positive scan when the study is repeated here at UCLA.
