Table 2 Diagnostic performance of ¹⁸F-fluorocholine PET/CT and conventional imaging modalities

	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)	Accuracy (%)	PPV (%)	NPV (%)
¹⁸F-FCH PET/CT	84.13^,*	100	86.49^,*	100	52.38
^99mTc-sestaMIBI SPECT/CT	63.49	90.91	67.57	97.56	30.3
Ultrasonography	61.9	81.82	64.86	95.12	27.27

^*The lesion-based sensitivity and accuracy of ¹⁸F-FCH PET/CT were significantly higher than those of ^99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT (P = 0.008; P = 0.006)
^**The lesion-based sensitivity and accuracy of ¹⁸F-FCH PET/CT were significantly higher than those of ultrasonography (P = 0.005; P = 0.006)
