Parathyroid tumors (PTs) are sometimes difficult to diagnose because they are small and have a low-velocity blood flow, which can be missed by current imaging modalities. PTs consist of parathyroid adenoma (PA), parathyroid cyst, and parathyroid carcinoma (PC). Detective flow imaging (DFI) is a new imaging technology that displays a low-velocity blood flow. Herein, we report two cases in which DFI was useful for the diagnosis of PTs. One case consisted of a PA and a parathyroid cyst in close proximity, and the other was a PC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate the usefulness of DFI in the diagnosis of PTs.
