CEUS is a noninvasive, real-time imaging technique that has relatively high diagnostic confidence and accuracy of localization which are comparable to the accuracy of 4DCT for preoperative parathyroid adenoma detection, characterization, and localization. This technique should be considered for primary preoperative diagnosis, especially in younger patients.
