Clinical Trial: Is Intraoperative PTH Monitoring Obsolete in Times of Choline PET/CT? a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study to Determine Whether the Regular Preoperative Use of Choline-PET/CT Scan Obviate the Need for Intraoperative PTH-measurement in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyreoidism

U.S., Feb. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06804681) titled 'Is Intraoperative PTH Monitoring Obsolete in Times of Choline PET/CT? a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study to Determine Whether the Regular Preoperative Use of Choline-PET/CT Scan Obviate the Need for Intraoperative PTH-measurement in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyreoidism' on Jan. 03.
