Introduction: Minimally invasive surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) requires optimal preoperative localisation imaging. Parathyroid four-dimensional CT (4D-CT) has been reported to provide greater sensitivity than MIBI-SPECT/CT in localizing parathyroid adenomas. We analysed the additional value of 4D-CT in our cohort of PHPT patients.Materials and methods: Patients who attended our parathyroid clinic between February 2016 and April...

Aims: 11C-methionine positron emission tomography co-registered with MRI (met-PET/MRI) is a new imaging technique used for functioning pituitary adenomas. In patients with persistent acromegaly after primary therapy, met-PET/MRI can help identify the site(s) of residual pituitary adenoma when MRI appearances are inconclusive and direct further targeted intervention (Trans-sphenoidal surgery-TSS or radiotherapy).<p class="ab...
