Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of autofluorescence (AF) under near-infrared (NIR) light as a tool for locating parathyroid glands during surgery to treat hyperparathyroidism.
- The research analyzed 96 patients, showcasing that 90.5% of parathyroid glands were visualized using NIR, with AF correlating with pre-operative serum calcium and PTH levels, but not with gland weight or SestaMIBI results.
- The findings suggest AF could potentially aid in surgery, but current variability in signal strength and visualization limitations mean it isn't yet reliable enough for routine clinical use.
