[18F]fluorocholine PET vs. [99mTc]sestamibi scintigraphy for detection and localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: outcomes and resource efficiency

Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP), but it needs a reliable preoperative localization method to detect hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue. Higher sensitivity and lower radiation exposure was demonstrated for [18F]fluoro...
