11 C-Methionine PET/CT in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and inconclusive pre-operative imaging work-up: diagnostic accuracy and role of semi-quantitative analysis

ConclusionsC-MET showed a good performance in detecting hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in PHPT patients with inconclusive pre-operative imaging. Semi-quantitative PET-derived parameters closely correlated with PTH as well as with size and weight of the excised gland, thus reflecting some biochemical and histological characteristics of involved glands.
