Performance of quantitative measurements in [¹⁸F]fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography for parathyroid imaging (P2TH study).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

[¹⁸F]Fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is used frequently in addition to [^99mTc]Tc-Sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasonography for the location of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of quantitative criteria in [¹⁸F]fluorocholine PET/CT for localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. The secondary objective is to highlight a correlation between the detection rate of [¹⁸F]fluorocholine PET/CT and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level.

Materials and methods

In two academic centers, we retrospectively included patients with biological hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and who had [¹⁸F]fluorocholine PET/CT. After a visual an
