¹⁸F-FCH PET/CT effectively detected hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue and its complications. The method showed excellent sensitivity and positive predictive value, including patients with nodular goitre, chronic thyroiditis, and prior unsuccessful parathyroidectomy. PET/CT performance was superior to neck ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy.
