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.

C-11 carfentanil PET brain images in the sagittal plane (left column) and multiple transaxial planes (2nd through 4th columns) are shown on the left side. Red arrows indicate brain stem (1st column), amygdala (2nd column), and ventral tegmentum (3rd column). Experimental group descriptions are shown on the right (top) along with Logan distribution volume ratio (DVR) volumes of interest (VOI) means and coefficient of variances (CV) with percent change compared with the healthy control (HC) mean (%Diff). P-values (Mann-Whitney U test) are also provided. The VOI DVRs are plotted in the bottom right graph.
