FCH-PET shines in guiding parathyroid surgery

The study authors analyzed the clinical impact of PET imaging with a radiotracer called F-18 fluorocholine (FCH) for guiding parathyroid surgery in patients with cancer and compared the results with standard imaging with ultrasound or sestamibi scintigraphy. They found that F-18 FCH-PET was more accurate at identifying tumors and subsequently led to more surgical "cures."
