Comparison of 4D computed tomography and F-18 fluorocholine PET for localisation of parathyroid lesions in primary hyperparathyroidism: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is the standard of care for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Four dimensional computed tomography(4DCT) and F-18 Fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FCH PET/CT) localize adenomas accurately to perform MIP. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and metanalysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 4DCT and FCH PET/CT scan for quadrant wise localisation in PHPT patients and to do head-to-head comparison between these two modalities. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENT : After searching through PubMed and EMBASE databases, 46 studies (using histology as a gold standard) of 4DCT and FCH PET/CT were included. RESULTS: Total number of patients included were 1651 and 952 for 4DCT scan (studies n = 26) and FCH PET/CT scan (studies n = 24) respectively. In per patient analysis, FCH PET/CT and 4DCT had pooled sensitivities of 92% (88-94) and 85% (73-92) respectively and in per lesion analysis, 90% (86-93) and 79% (71-84), respectively. In the subgroup with negative conventional imaging/persistent PHPT, FCH PET/CT had comparable sensitivity to 4DCT (84% [74-90] vs. 72% [46-88]). As per patient wise analysis, FCH PET/CT had better detection rates than 4DCT ([92.4 vs. 76.85], odds ratio -3.89 [1.6-9.36] p = .0024) in the subpopulation where both FCH PET/CT and 4DCT were reported. CONCLUSION: Both 4DCT and FCH PET/CT scan performed well in newly diagnosed patients, patients with persistent disease and in those with inconclusive conventional imaging results. FCH PET/CT scan had a higher pooled sensitivity than 4DCT in detecting patients with PHPT in head to head comparison.

Detection, resection and cure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18F-choline PET in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common endocrine disorder caused by an autonomous overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by a parathyroid gland. Over the last decade,. We conducted a systematic review and metaanalysis according to the PRISMA Guidelines. A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane databases, last updated November 2022. Original articles on choline PET in patients with pHPT mentioning patient-based sensitivity, PPV and cure rate were retained. Quality of included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 Tool. Patient-based sensitivity, PPV and cure rate were pooled by using a random-effects model.. Twenty-three studies including 1716 patients were included for quantitative assessment. FCH PET showed a pooled patient-based sensitivity of 93.8% (95% CI: 89.8-96.3) and PPV of 97% (95% CI: 92.8-98.8) in patients with pHPT. Parathyroid surgery was performed in 1129 patients. The pooled cure rate of PET-guided surgery was 92.8% (95% CI: 87.4-96.0). Heterogeneity was shown to be moderate for all effect sizes.. FCH PET showed a high patient-based sensitivity, PPV and cure rate of PET guided surgery in patients with pHPT.

Analysis of intraoperative laboratory measurements and imaging techniques such as Tc-99 m-MIBI SPECT/CT, 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT and ultrasound in patients operated with prediagnosis of parathyroid adenoma.
The aim of this study is to determine accurately the localization of the adenoma with the imaging methods in the patients, who are planned to be operated on with prediagnosis of parathyroid adenoma.. In our study, the files of the patients who were considered to have parathyroid adenoma and underwent operation between 2012 and 2020 with the methods such as Tc99m-MIBI SPECT/CT, 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT, and ultrasound, and biochemical examinations were examined retrospectively.. In this study, 31 (18.2%) male and 139 (81.8%) female adult patients were included. The sensitivities of localization methods were 82.6% for ultrasound and 78.4% for scintigraphy. Adenoma was localised in the right place in 14 of 15 (93.3%) patients with the 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT method. A statistically significant correlation was found between the sensitivity of scintigraphy, the gland weights (p: 0.002), and phosphor values (p: 0.039). A statistically significant improvement was observed in the intact PTH value (p: 0.001) 15 min after the removal of adenoma. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the serum PTH value (p: 0.001), the serum phosphorus value (p: 0.001), and the serum calcium (p: 0.001) in the first 3 months after the operation.. Determining localization accurately for the patients enables performing operations with minimally invasive surgery successfully in a shorter time. Also, fewer complications and faster recovery are seen in the patients. It was concluded that studying intraoperative intact PTH and using 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT method for localization give more accurate results for localization and allow having more successful operation outcomes.

Forty patients with suspect primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and negative/equivocal conventional imaging underwent FCH-PET/CT in our Institution. For every lesion, visual and semi-quantitative analyses were performed on PET/CT images. In qualitative analysis, a lesion was considered positive if a clear focus of uptake, significantly higher than normal thyroid tissue, was identifiable. Ectopic focal uptake was also regarded as positive PET result. Lesion SUV. Four out of the 40 patients who underwent surgery for pHPT had more than one histologic proven unhealthy parathyroid and three had papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). A total of 48 lesions were analyzed. We found 42/48 lesions (87.5%) to have true-positive uptake, whereas three lesions (6.7%) had false-positive uptake (PTC). Three histologic proven parathyroid adenomas showed no uptake (6.7%); the sensitivity/PPV were 93.3% and accuracy was 87,8%. Pearson's test showed a significant correlation between PTH values and parathyroid size with SUVr values (r = 0.56 and 0.55, respectively, p < 0.01 for both features).. As stated in recent literature, we observed excellent diagnostic sensitivity of FCH-PET/CT in patients with pHPT, providing surgeons a fine tool to optimize treatment. More studies are needed to improve the evaluability of semi-quantitative parameters towards a further improvement of diagnostic accuracy.

FCH-PET/CT in Primary Hyperparathyroidism With Discordant/Negative MIBI Scintigraphy and Ultrasonography.
The contribution of [18F]F-fluorocholine (FCH)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (nPHPT) remains unknown.. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of FCH-PET/CT in a cohort of osteoporotic patients with nPHPT and discordant or negative [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasonography who all underwent parathyroidectomy (PTX).. Longitudinal retrospective cohort study in patients referred for osteoporosis with mild biological primary hyperparathyroidism.. Tertiary referral center with expertise in bone metabolism and surgical management of hyperparathyroidism.. Among 109 patients with PHPT analyzed, 3 groups were individualized according to total serum calcium (tCa) and ionized calcium (iCa): 32 patients with hypercalcemia (HtCa group), 39 patients with normal tCa and elevated iCa (NtCa group), and 38 patients with both normal tCa and iCa (NiCa). All patients had biochemical follow-up confirming or not the success of PTX.. To evaluate the performance of FCH-PET/CT in terms of sensitivity and specificity, and to compare with first-line imaging procedures in the setting of nPHPT.. The sensitivity of FCH-PET/CT was 67% in the hypercalcemic group, 48% in the NtCa group (P = .05 vs HtCa), and 33% in the NiCa group (P = .004 vs HtCa). Specificity ranged from 97% to 99%. FCH-PET/CT was positive in 64.3% of patients with negative conventional imaging, with biochemical resolution after PTX in 77.8% of patients. Triple negative imaging was observed in 20 patients, with PHPT resolution in 85% of these patients.. This study highlights the contribution of FCH-PET/CT in a well-phenotyped cohort of normocalcemic patients with discordant or negative findings in [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasonography. However, negative imaging in nPHPT does not rule out the possibility of surgical cure by an experienced surgeon.

Localization of Brown Tumors With 18 F-Fluorocholine PET/CT Imaging in Severe Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
We present the case of a 68-year-old woman with a painful tibial tumor and fatigue. Histology and laboratory studies were consistent with a brown tumor secondary to initially unrecognized, severe primary hyperparathyroidism. 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT revealed a large hypermetabolic parathyroid mass and multiple bone foci considered as brown tumors. Unilateral neck exploration confirmed a large parathyroid adenoma. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels normalized quickly, and symptoms subsided gradually after parathyroidectomy. Brown tumors are a rare complication of severe hyperparathyroidism. 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT allows the localization of parathyroid adenomas and brown tumors, and can be used as a single imaging modality.

18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in the Detection of Hyperfunctioning Transplanted Parathyroid Tissue.
A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 and primary hyperparathyroidism underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue fragments in the right forearm in 1999. Since several years later, follow-up laboratory examinations showed the relapse of hypercalcemia; the patient started cinacalcet therapy. To exclude the presence of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in ortotopic or ectopic sites, a PET/CT scan with 18F-fluorocholine was performed. The PET/CT scan excluded the presence of ortotopic and ectopic parathyroid glands but showed a hyperplastic parathyroid fragment in the right forearm, responsible for the patient's persistent hypercalcemia.

Detectability of 18F-choline PET/MR in primary hyperparathyroidism.
We aimed to evaluate the power of 18F-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging in unlocalized primary hyperparathyroidism.. Thirty-four patients were included. In 17/34 patients, PET/MR was performed immediately after a negative 18F-FCH PET/CT. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were calculated for MR only (blinded to PET data) and PET only (blinded to MR data) findings.. 18F-FCH PET/MR was positive in 26/34 (76%) patients. PET/MR was also positive in 12/17 (71%) patients with a negative PET/CT. Among 11/34 (32%) patients where 18F-FCH PET-only and MR-only results were discordant, MR was false positive in 7/11 patients (3/7 of the lesions were not 18F-FCH avid and in 4/7 of them PET and MRI pointed different locations. Postoperative histopathology revealed that 18F-FCH-positive ones were true positives). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of neck MR evaluated blinded to PET data were 80%, 50%, 70%, 64% and 68%, respectively, and all were calculated as 100% for PET/MR.. 18F-FCH PET/MR is very effective in preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas even if 18F-FCH PET/CT is negative. Neck MR alone is insufficient in detecting parathyroid adenomas but PET/MR combination helps in precise localisation.

Histopathological Features of Parathyroid Adenoma and 18F-Choline Uptake in PET/MR of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the histopathological properties of hyperfunctioning parathyroids and parathyroid 18F-choline uptake.. A total of 31 parathyroid adenomas were retrospectively analyzed in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and preoperative 18F-choline PET/MR. PET/MR parameters of parathyroid glands (SUVmax and target-to-background ratio in early-phase [EP] and late-phase [LP]), MRI volume, preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) serum concentration, and postoperative histopathology (predominant cell type and growth pattern of adenoma cells, location and size of adenoma) were assessed. The relationship of PET/MR parameters, PTH, and histological parameters was determined using linear regression, Spearman correlation and Kruskal-Wallis test.. The median volume of parathyroid adenoma was 421.78 ± 142.46 mm3 (46.39-4412.69). Adenomas were predominantly composed of chief, water-clear, and oncocytic/oxyphilic cells in 27/31, 2/31, and 2/31 cases, respectively. The growth pattern was predominantly solid, follicular, and trabecular in 18/31, 8/31, and 5/31, respectively. The SUVmax was 6.71 ± 3.39 in EP and 6.91 ± 3.97 in LP. Follicular growth pattern had slightly higher EP SUVmax (trabecular: 4.12 ± 0.56; solid: 6.62 ± 3.19; follicular: 8.56 ± 3.96; P = 0.046). Spearman correlation showed strong positive correlation between volume and both EP and LP SUVmax (0.626; P = 0.0001 and 0.576; P = 0.0001, respectively). Linear regression analysis revealed significant correlation between PTH level and EP and LP SUVmax (both P = 0.001); in contrast, no correlation was found between PTH level and both cell type and growth pattern.. Our findings suggest that 18F-choline uptake of parathyroid adenomas might be associated both with the histological growth pattern and adenoma volume, but not with a specific cell type.

A Collision Intrathyroidal Tumor Causing Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Evidence From an 18F-Choline PET/CT Study.
A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism and normofunctioning left nodular goiter. Fine-needle aspiration cytology showed thyroid (Thy) 4 (suspicious of malignancy). After first-line imaging proved negative, integrated 18F-choline PET/4D contrast-enhanced CT revealed uptake by the thyroid nodule and by 3 nodules of the left central compartment. Thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed. Histopathology revealed a collision tumor (ie, 2 histologically distinct tumors occurring at the same anatomic site) composed of both PTC (papillary thyroid carcinoma) and parathyroid carcinoma within the left thyroid nodule. Lymph nodes showed PTC metastases. Primary hyperparathyroidism and calcium levels normalized, and the patient underwent radioiodine therapy.

18F-Choline PET/CT, MRI, and Software-Based Image Fusion Analysis in Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-choline PET and MRI in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Furthermore, the additional value of software-based PET/MRI scan fusion was analyzed.. This retrospective study includes 42 patients (38 women) with an age between 32.5 and 79.1 years. PET/CT scans were performed on a dedicated system after injection of 250 to 350 MBq 18F-choline. For the MRI examination, T1-weighted images of the cervical region were used. The image fusion was made by anatomical coregistration using an automated algorithm based on mutual information.. A total of 46 lesions were discovered and histologically confirmed in 42 patients. Histopathological examination revealed 38 adenomas and 8 hyperplasias. This means that, in 4 of these 42 patients, 2 lesions per patient were discovered. PET/CT also detected 46 abnormal findings, but only 43 were correctly recognized, whereas the other 3 were false-positive (FP). Six lesions could not be detected correctly: 3 were FP and 3 false-negative, which resulted in a sensitivity of 93.5% and a specificity of 97.5%. The site-specific evaluation showed 18 true-positive enlarged parathyroid glands with MRI, but also produced 13 FP findings and failed to detect 28 lesions; the sensitivity and specificity are thus 39.1% and 89.3%, respectively. The difference in detection rate between 18F-choline PET/CT and MRI was statistically significant (P < 0.001).. 18F-choline PET/CT is clearly superior to MRI for localization diagnostics in primary hyperparathyroidism. Image fusion of both modalities can be helpful for more precise anatomical assignment.

Dynamic 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT for parathyroid imaging in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
In the past few years, F-fluorocholine PET/CT has been established as a promising imaging technique for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas, but the optimal time point to start PET/CT acquisition after tracer injection is yet unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess the optimal time frame to acquire the PET/CT images and to evaluate the ability of dynamic imaging to differentiate parathyroid adenomas from active lymph nodes, a common cause for false-positive scan results.. Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who had undergone a dynamic F-fluorocholine PET/CT positive for parathyroid disease and who subsequently underwent successful parathyroidectomy were retrospectively included in this study. On the 20 minutes dynamic images, standardized uptake value measurements were acquired per 1 minute frame for the parathyroid adenoma, the thyroid gland, blood pool activity, and, if present, lymph node activity.. A total of 101 patients were included in this study. Time-activity curves showed a decrease of activity in parathyroid and thyroid glands, with faster wash-out from the thyroid gland and on average a stable, lower activity in lymph nodes. Blood pool activity was particularly present in the first 2 minutes. Differentiation of a parathyroid adenoma from active lymph nodes was best before 5 minutes, but no definitive cutoff value could be determined. Differentiation of a parathyroid adenoma from the thyroid gland was best after 10 minutes.. Dynamic imaging starting at the early time point of 2 minutes after injection of F-fluorocholine is useful for characterization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands.
