Impact of Fluoro-Choline PET/CT in Reduction in Failed Parathyroid Localization in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
AbstractIntroductionAccurate localization of the pathological parathyroid gland is a prerequisite for minimally invasive surgical management of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Poor imaging or discordance in odd situations like ectopic adenomas, parathyroid hyperplasia, syndromic HPT results in localization dilemma thus causing failed parathyroidectomy. We studied the impact of Fluoro-Choline (FCH) PET/CT imaging in reduction in localization failure of parathyroid adenoma.Materials and methodsWe did a retrospective observational study (2018 –2021) of HPT among which 97 patients underwent focused parathyroidectomy (FP). All pa...
