The goal of this randomised open-label controlled study is to compare the biochemical and clinical responses following \[11C\]Metomidate-PET CT(MTO-PET) versus usual care with adrenal venous sampling as first lateralisation strategy in people with biochemically confirmed primary aldosteronism(PA). The main question it aims to answer is: what is the proportion of people who achieved complete or partial clinical success among those who underwent PA treatment?

Metomidate labelled with C11H3(\[11C\]Metomidate) is used as a radiotracer in PET-CT to detect expression of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 in adrenal cortex.
Adrenal venous sampling is an invasive procedure that involves insertion of a catheter to adrenal veins to determine if one side of the adrenal is producing excess aldosterone hormones compared to the other side.

Compare the proportion of people who achieved complete or partial clinical success
Clinical success is defined by Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcome criteria for people who underwent surgery and Primary Aldosteronism Medical Treatment Outcome criteria for those who received mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist
