11C-Metomidate PET/CT is a useful adjunct for lateralisation of primary aldosteronism in routine clinical practice
Clinical Endocrinology Feb 10, 2019
O'Shea PM, et al. - In the lateralization of aldosterone producing adenomas (APA) in primary aldosteronism (PA), researchers described clinical practice experience of 11C-Metomidate PET/CT as an adjunct to adrenal vein sampling (AVS). For this investigation, 15 people with a confirmed diagnosis of PA were lateralized with 11C Metomidate PET/CT before the final clinical decision on surgical compared to medical treatment. Findings suggested that 11C- Metomidate PET/CT in conjunction with adrenal CT and AVS provided useful information that helped to make clinical decisions for PA in a multidisciplinary hypertension clinic.
