Comparison of 18F-Choline PET/CT and 99mTc-Sestamibi SPECT/CT in the Localization of Hyperactive Parathyroid Glands in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Diagnostic Performance in Discordant Cases
FCH PET/CT showed a trend toward improved diagnostic performance and postoperative cure compared with MIBI SPECT/CT in discordant cases. While not superior in all situations, it can complement MIBI SPECT/CT and enhance surgical decision-making in complex clinical settings.
