Résumé

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a common endocrine disorder caused by hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands (HP). The correct detection and localization of HP is challenging but crucial, as it may guide surgical treatment, particularly in patients with primary HPT. There is a growing body of data regarding the role of radiolabelled choline positron emission tomography (PET) in this setting. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of this method in detecting HP in patients with HPT.
