Assessment of the role of early dynamic PET/CT with 18F-fluorocholine in detection of parathyroid lesions in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

A possible explanation of higher SUVmax in the dynamic images in adenomas may be due to the increased vascularity/early F-FCH uptake. Results indicate early dynamic imaging could suffice, without the need for a delayed image after 45 min, and this technique could adequately differentiate a parathyroid adenoma from a cervical LN.
