From: The role of 18F-FCH PET/CT in patients with uremic hyperparathyroidism compared with 99mTc-sestaMIBI SPECT/CT and ultrasonography

 

Size (mm3), mean ± SD

P value

PET/CT-positive

1.36 ± 0.55 (n = 53)

 

PET/CT-negative

0.83 ± 0.26 (n = 10)

0.019***

PET/CT-positive and SPECT/CT-positive

1.52 ± 0.56 (n = 35)

 

PET/CT-positive and SPECT/CT-negative

1.05 ± 0.36 (n = 18)

0.097

  1. ***Volumes of the hyper-functioning parathyroid glands positive in 18F-FCH PET/CT were significantly different from those negative in 18F -FCH PET/CT
