Optimal scan time for evaluation of parathyroid adenoma with [18F]-fluorocholine PET/CT

Optimal scan time for evaluation of parathyroid adenoma with [18F]-fluorocholine PET/CT

Background. Parathyroid adenomas, the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, are benign tumours which autonomously produce and secrete parathyroid hormone.
