18F-fluorocholine PET/CT detects parathyroid gland hyperplasia as well as adenoma: 401 PET/CTs in one center
CONCLUSIONS: Although FCH PET/CT has been performed since 2017 as 1st line imaging for HPT at Tenon Hospital (Paris, France), a large majority of patients underwent prior US and/or MIBI in their preoperative work-up. Therefore, a selection bias is very likely, as most patients referred to FCH PET/CT had non-conclusive or discordant results of US and MIBI, explaining the low performance of those modalities in the present cohort compared to published results. Nevertheless, the superiority of FCH PET/CT over US and MIBI in detecting abnormal PTs reported in various comparative studies is definitely confirmed in this larger re...
