    Conventional imaging methods for preoperative parathyroid localization include neck ultrasound and MIBI scintigraphy, each with specific advantages and limitations.

  • 3

    Hybrid imaging techniques like 18F-FCH PET/CT offer high accuracy in detecting hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue but may be costly and less accessible.

  • 4

    Parathyroidectomy remains the only curative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, necessitating precise localization of the affected gland.
