[Imaging of parathyroid adenomas with F ‑18 choline PET-CT].

CONCLUSIONS: Using choline PET/CT parathyroid adenoma and probably parathyroid hyperplasia can be exactly localized in most patients with pHPT. Thus, a minimal-invasive surgical procedure is feasible with decreased risk of complications but high success rate in terms of biochemical cure. The diagnostic accuracy in multiglandular disease remains to be established. PMID: 30264384 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
