NCT ID NCT04895631
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special PET scan (18F-fluorocholine) to see if it could better locate overactive parathyroid glands (adenomas) in people with hyperparathyroidism. 139 participants received the scan before surgery, and the results were compared to standard imaging and the actual location found during surgery. The goal was to see if this new scan is more accurate at guiding surgeons to the right spot.
