[131I]6ß-Iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol SPECT/CT for the Lateralization of Mineralocorticoid Overproduction in Primary Aldosteronism
[<sup>131</sup>I]6ß-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol SPECT/CT with a count-based image interpretation and side-ratio calculation may be an equipollent non-invasive substitute for adrenal venous sampling in the lateralization of mineralocorticoid overproduction. It reliably identifies unilateral disease and facilitates patients' selection for surgical intervention. If confirmed by others, this functional imaging may replace AVS when lateralization is required for management decisions in primary aldosteronism.
