Assessing the effectiveness of 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT as the leading imaging technique compared to 99mTc-Sestamibi scans and ultrasonography for diagnosing hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND Accurate preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue is paramount for the success of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Conventional imaging with 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy and cervical ultrasonography (US) has significant limitations in...
