Refining the role of presurgical PET/4D-CT in a large series of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing [18F]Fluorocholine PET/CT.
Background: 4D-CT has garnered attention as complementary imaging for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Herein we evaluated a diagnostic strategy using [18F]Fluorocholine Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT), followed by 4D-CT integrated into PET/4D-CT after negative/inconclusive PET/CT results in a single-center retrospective cohort of 166 pHPT patients who underwent parathyroidectomy after [18F]Fluorocholine PET/4D-CT.
Methods: PET/CT and 4D-CT images were interpreted by three nuclear medicine physicians and one expert radiologist. Pathological findings were documented, and concordance rates were assessed. PET/CT results were categorized as positive/negative, with positive cases rated on a 3-level certitude scale: low, moderate, high. Inconclusive cases included low/moderate positivity. The added value of PET/4D-CT was assessed for negative/inconclusive cases through joint reading.
Results: PET/CT lesion-based analysis showed almost perfect interobserver concordance (Cohen's kappa >.8). Across the cohort, PET/CT had a sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 97%, PPV of 90% and NPV of 94%. For 4D-CT, these values were sensitivity: 53%, specificity: 84%, PPV: 56% and NPV: 82%. PET/CT was significantly more accurate than 4D-CT. Among 44 patients with negative/inconclusive results, PET/CT had sensitivity: 60%, specificity: 91%, PPV: 71% and NPV: 86%. In the same patients, sensitivity and specificity of the sequential diagnostic algorithm increased to 80% and 97%, showing significantly better global accuracy (92% vs. 83%) than standard PET/CT.
Conclusions: We support a personalized imaging algorithm for pHPT, placing [18F]Fluorocholine PET/CT at the forefront, followed by 4D-CT integrated into PET/4D-CT in the same imaging session for negative/inconclusive results. When PET/CT results are clearly positive, the additional sensitivity benefit of 4D-CT is minimal.
期刊介绍：
EJCI considers any original contribution from the most sophisticated basic molecular sciences to applied clinical and translational research and evidence-based medicine across a broad range of subspecialties. The EJCI publishes reports of high-quality research that pertain to the genetic, molecular, cellular, or physiological basis of human biology and disease, as well as research that addresses prevalence, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of disease. We are primarily interested in studies directly pertinent to humans, but submission of robust in vitro and animal work is also encouraged. Interdisciplinary work and research using innovative methods and combinations of laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological methodologies and techniques is of great interest to the journal. Several categories of manuscripts (for detailed description see below) are considered: editorials, original articles (also including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses), reviews (narrative reviews), opinion articles (including debates, perspectives and commentaries); and letters to the Editor.
