[18F]F-Choline PET/CT and 4D-CT in the evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism: rivals or allies?
Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2023 Jun;67(2):130-137. doi: 10.23736/S1824-4785.23.03514-8.ABSTRACTPrimary hyperparathyroidism is a hard-to-diagnose condition that can run without symptoms for many years without causing symptoms; yet, it can cause dire long-term consequences, such as osteoporosis and renal impairment. First-line diagnostic methods include ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy, which provide unsatisfactory results in terms of detection rate. Second-line imaging methods include [18F]F-Choline PET/CT, 4D-CT, and their combination. These methods have shown a great detection rate and sensitivity; however, they are...
