Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to assess whether the sensitivity and specificity of 11C-Choline PET/CT is comparable to dual-isotope subtraction scintigraphy (SPECT/CT) in the preoperative location of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the proportion of correct 11C-Choline PET/CT assessments compared to the proportion of correct dual isotope subtraction scintigraphy (SPECT/CT) assessments with regard to location of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue.<br>The surgical result (confirmed by perioperative PTH-measurements and postoperative pathology) will serve as the gold standard. <br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Results will be evaluated after 60, 100 and 200 patients have undergone scintigraphy and PET/CT and possible parathyroidectomy where the removed tissue will be evaluated by a pathologist..
