Preoperative F-18 fluorocholine PET/CT for the detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism: comparison with Tc-99m sestamibi scan and neck ultrasound
ConclusionsF-18 fluorocholine PET/CT shows superior accuracy over the conventional imaging modalities in patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The combination of F-18 fluorocholine PET/CT and neck ultrasound may enable better surgical planning in these patients.Registration identification numberNCT04316845.
