A Retrospective Analysis of the Diagnostic Performance of 11C-choline PET/CT in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The leading cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a solitary adenoma (89%). The treatment of pHPT is generally surgical removal of the overactive parathyroid gland(s). Since a solitary adenoma is the predominant cause, parathyroid surgery is preferably performed through a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) in which only the suspected adenoma causing the pHPT is resected in a focused manner. To facilitate the performance of a MIP, accurate preoperative imaging is pivotal. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of 11C-choline PET/CT after prior negative or discordant first-line imaging in patients with pHPT undergoing parathyroid surgery with an optimized imaging protocol.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients eligible for inclusion were ≥18 years old, diagnosed with biochemically confirmed pHPT, underwent a MIBI-SPECT/CT and/or cUS with negative or discordant results, and underwent a 11C-choline PET/CT followed by parathyroidectomy.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients were excluded if they were known to have a germline mutation predisposing for familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH).
