F-18-Ethylcholine-PET/Ultrasound Fusion Imaging for Detection of Occult Parathyroid Adenomas in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
This study shows that FEC-PET/ultrasound offers valuable support for preoperative localization and thus can be considered as an effective and precise method for detecting parathyroid adenomas in primary hyperparathyroidism. Because of its high time and technical demands, it is reserved for challenging cases unresolved by standard diagnostics. Future technical advances may increase its accessibility.
