Choline PET/CT vs. PTH monitoring in parathyroid surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special scan (Choline PET/CT) can replace a blood test done during surgery (PTH) to guide treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, making surgery simpler.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary hyperparathyroidism (high calcium from overactive parathyroid glands).
- You had a Choline PET/CT scan before surgery.
- Your surgeon plans to measure PTH during the operation.
- You are able and willing to give consent for the study.

This study compares a newer type of scan (18F-choline PET/CT) to standard imaging to help doctors locate overactive parathyroid glands. The goal is to see if the newer scan works better for planning surgery in people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
This trial tests a special PET scan to better locate overactive parathyroid glands before surgery. It may help guide treatment for people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
This study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
This study looks at whether taking calcitonin before a special parathyroid scan (SPECT-CT) makes the scan easier to read. It’s for people with primary hyperparathyroidism who want surgery, and may help doctors find the right gland more reliably.
This study looks at how hormone changes from the parathyroid gland affect the bones in people with primary hyperparathyroidism. It may help doctors better understand the condition and guide treatment decisions, including whether surgery is needed.
This study uses past and future parathyroid scan data to train and test an AI tool. The goal is to improve how the scans are interpreted using nuclear medicine imaging from a specific scanning process.
