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
