ABSTRACT: Objective
Preoperative location of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands (HPGs) is vital when planning minimally invasive surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Dual-isotope subtraction scintigraphy with 99m Tc-MIBI/123 Iodide using SPECT/CT and planar pinhole imaging (Di-SPECT) has shown high sensitivity, but is challenged by high radiation dose, time consumption and cost. 11 C-Choline PET/CT (faster with a lower radiation dose) is non-inferior to Di-SPECT. We aim to clarify to what extent the two are interchangeable and how often there are discrepancies.Design
This is a prospective, GCP-controlled cohort study.Patients and measurements
One hundred patients diagnosed with PHPT were included and underwent both ima
