Significance: Near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) utilizes the natural autofluorescence of parathyroid glands (PGs) to improve their identification during thyroid surgeries, reducing the risk of inadvertent removal and subsequent complications such as hypoparathyroidism. This study evaluates NIRAF's effectiveness in real-world surgical settings, highlighting its potential to enhance surgical outcomes and patient safety.
Aim: We evaluate the effectiveness of NIRAF in detecting PGs during thyroidectomy and central neck dissection and investigate autofluorescence characteristics in both fresh and paraffin-embedded tissues.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists created a new AI tool called PTAIR 2.0 to help doctors find the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery, which is super important to avoid health problems after surgery.
- They trained this AI using thousands of images and videos to make it really smart at recognizing these glands.
- Tests showed that PTAIR 2.0 works better than both new and experienced doctors, which could make surgeries safer and help patients recover faster!
