- Abstract
This article provides an overview of the evolution of surgical strategies for parathyroid disease and the role of nuclear imaging techniques in preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas. It discusses the importance of accurate preoperative localization for successful surgical treatment and explores various imaging techniques such as [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT, ultrasound, and 4D-CT. The article highlights a recent study that suggests [11C]-choline PET/CT as a highly sensitive imaging technique for localizing parathyroid adenomas. Another study examines the cost-effectiveness of [18F]F-fluorocholine PET/CT as a primary localization technique. The article concludes that choline PET/CT can aid in precise surgical planning and execution, but further research is needed to develop imaging-based surgical guidelines.
