ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate preoperative imaging modalities for localization of parathyroid adenomas with a view to enable minimally invasive parathyroidectomy and in particular, to consider the contribution of 18F-fluorocholine-PET/CT. 104 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, who underwent parathyroid surgery in a single centre during a 6-year period were included. Of these, 103 underwent ultrasound, 97 99mTc-Pertechnetate/SestaMIBI-SPECT, 20 MRI and 30 18F-fluorocholine-PET/CT. Based on surgical findings, sensitivities and specificities for correct lateralisation in orthotopic locations were for ultrasound 0.75 (0.65-0.83) and 0.89 (0.81-0.94), for 99mTc-MIBI-SPECT 0.57 (0.46-0.67) and 0.97 (0.91-0.99), for MRI 0.60 (0.36-0.81) and 0.83 (0.59-0.96) and for 18F-fluorocholine-PET/CT 0.90 (0.73-0.98) and 0.90 (0.73-0.98). Correctly lateralized adenomas were significantly larger than those not found with ultrasound (p = 0.03) and SPECT (p = 0.002). Pre-operative PTH-levels were higher in single adenomas detected by scintigraphy than in those not (p = 0.02). 64 patients could be treated with a minimally invasive procedure. Cure after parathyroidectomy was obtained in 94% of patients. 18F-Fluorocholine-PET/CT could be shown to be a highly accurate modality to localize parathyroid adenomas preoperatively, obviating the need for total exploration in the majority of patients in whom ultrasound and scintigraphic results are discordant or both negative.
