Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the effectiveness of F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT for locating hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) before surgery.
- The research involved 80 patients who underwent FCH PET/CT, comparing the imaging results with histological findings and postoperative outcomes to evaluate the method's diagnostic performance.
- Results showed that FCH PET/CT had a sensitivity of 88% and a positive predictive value of 91%, indicating it is a valuable tool for pre-surgical localization of problematic parathyroid tissue in PHPT patients.*
