Article Synopsis
- Preoperative imaging for patients with hyperparathyroidism aids in planning surgeries, especially minimizing invasive techniques like minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIPTX), which has benefits like shorter surgery times and reduced risks.
- FCH PET/CT scans have shown to have a high sensitivity (97%) for detecting abnormal parathyroid glands, outperforming other imaging methods, which leads to lower rates of surgery failure.
- The article reviews the use of FCH PET/CT in diagnosing and guiding treatment for hyperparathyroidism, emphasizing its safety and effectiveness over a 12-year real-world experience supporting its use as the preferred imaging choice.
The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and hypercholesterolemia in elderly and younger subjects, and the association of subclinical hypothyroidism with hypercholesterolemia. The study included 204 elderly (136 females and 68 males, age median 71, range 60-92 years), and 83 younger control subjects (63 females and 20 males, age median 45, range 19-55 years). Subjects with prior thyroid dysfunction were excluded.
