Cost-Effectiveness of 18F-Choline PET/CT Versus MIBI SPECT/CT for Preoperative Localization in Primary Hyperparathyroidism in the Colombian Healthcare System.

Key Points

• This research evaluates the cost-effectiveness of 18F-choline PET/CT compared to MIBI SPECT/CT for localization in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
• Cost-effectiveness analysis comparing 18F-choline PET/CT and MIBI SPECT/CT
• Focus on preoperative localization in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
• Assessment within the Colombian healthcare system
• 18F-choline PET/CT demonstrated cost-effectiveness over MIBI SPECT/CT
• Findings support selective adoption of 18F-choline PET/CT in diagnostic algorithms
• Results inform healthcare policy decisions in Colombia
