Aim/Introduction: [18F]fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has gained an important role in the preoperative diagnosis of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pPHP). In these patients, thyroid nodules are frequently found on preoperative ultrasound. FCH PET/CT provides a high negative predictive value to reliably rule out cancer in thyroid nodules with low uptake. However, more than half of benign thyroid nodules have b...
