FCH-PET/CT superior to MIBI-SPECT/CT for guiding parathyroid surgery
By Will Morton
F-18 fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT could be a first-line technique over technetium-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT for imaging parathyroid tumors prior to surgery.

(A) FCH-PET maximum-intensity projection; (B) FCH-PET/CT fusion transverse slice; and (C) low-dose CT transverse slice, showing high FCH uptake in an 11-mm left inferior parathyroid adenoma (arrowheads). The patient underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, leading to normocalcemia during follow-up. No complications occurred.
