Purpose Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a common endocrine disorder caused by
hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands (HP). The correct detection and localization of HP is …

Hypercalcaemia is a common disorder normally caused by primary hyperparathyroidism
(PHPT) or malignancy. A proportion of cases present as an emergency, which carries a …

Introduction Nuclear medicine parathyroid imaging is important in the identification of
hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), but it may be …

Purpose In this prospective study we compared the accuracy of 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT
with that of 99m Tc-MIBI or 99m Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT/CT in the preoperative detection of …

Purpose The great spatial and temporal resolution of positron emission tomography might
provide the answer for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and non-localized …

Importance Accurate preoperative localization of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is an
important and challenging issue for a successful parathyroidectomy. Although new imaging …

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder usually
due to hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands (HPs). Surgical removal of the HPs is the main …

Abstract Background 18 F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT is a promising technique for
visualizing hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism. It is still under …

With increasing use of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (PTx) over traditional bilateral
neck exploration in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), accurate …

One of the most promising imaging techniques in primary hyperparathyroidism is PET/CT
with choline-based tracers. To investigate the current evidence of these tracers in localizing …
