Detection and localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands on [18F]fluorocholine PET/ CT using deep learning – model performance and comparison to human experts

In the setting of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT (FCH-PET) has excellent diagnostic performance, with experienced practitioners achieving 97.7% accuracy in localising hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue (HPTT). Due to the relative triviality of the task for human reade...
