Use of the tracheal bisecting line to differentiate upper pole from lower pole parathyroid adenomas: a PET/MR study using [18F]Fluorocholine
The TBL is a reliable and reproducible landmark on [<sup>18</sup>F]Fluorocholine PET/MR for predicting parathyroid adenoma polarity, particularly in orthotopic and non-intrathyroidal cases. It may enhance surgical planning by improving anatomical clarity.
