Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gallium-68 (⁶⁸Ga)–pentixafor positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) were performed in this cohort.

At the optimum maximum standardized uptake value of 8.00, the sensitivity was 69.8%, and the specificity was 93.7%. Taking into account the 18-oxocortisol level and ⁶⁸Ga-pentixafor PET/CT maximum standardized uptake value, 100% of patients with double positive results were placed in the right APA subtype. If the 18-oxocortisol level with ⁶⁸Ga-pentixafor PET/CT visual analysis was combined for PA subtyping, the sensitivity of at least 1 positive was 95.2%, and a total of 87.2% of patients could be classified correctly.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The LC-MS/MS and ⁶⁸Ga-pentixafor PET/CT have great advantages on the subtyping of PA.
