Early planar and early SPECT Tc-99m sestamibi imaging: can it replace the dual-phase technique for the localization of parathyroid adenomas by omitting the delayed phase?
The delayed planar image could be omitted without any loss in sensitivity for the localization of parathyroid adenomas, and therefore EP could replace DPP.
Approaching services was perceived as akin to taking a gamble that might or might not result in their needs being met. Faced with this "choice", participants employed strategies to minimise the risks that on the surface may appear risky to health. If public services are to succeed in providing support to disadvantaged families, greater efforts are needed to build trust and demonstrate understanding for the strategies these families use to maintain their well-being against formidable odds.
