11C-Metomidate PET-CT versus adrenal vein sampling to subtype primary aldosteronism: a prospective clinical trial

Conclusion: In our pilot study, 11C-Metomidate PET-CT performed comparably to AVS, and this should be validated in larger studies. PET identified patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism missed on AVS, and these tests could be used together to identify more patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism.
