Abstract
In primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), the localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland (HPTG) allows tailored surgery. Although Four-Dimensional Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (4DCeCT) and 18F-choline Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) are reported to be promising second-line imaging procedures, no meta-analysis of their comparison exists.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
