Accuracy of gallium-68 pentixafor positron emission tomography-computed tomography for subtyping diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. JAMA Netw Open, 2023, 6 (2): e2255609. DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.55609]. The study found:68The efficacy of Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT in the localization diagnosis of patients with primary aldosteronism (abbreviated as primary aldosteronism) is highly consistent with the current "gold standard" for localization diagnosis of primary aldosteronism-adrenal vein sampling (AVS), suggesting that this non-invasive localization examination method can partially replace AVS and provide a new path for the diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism.
