Finding parathyroid glands with AI imaging during thyroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special camera and AI software during thyroid or parathyroid surgery to help surgeons identify and protect the parathyroid glands. The goal is to reduce complications like low calcium levels after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part or all of your thyroid or parathyroid gland.
- You are able to understand the study and give written permission to participate.
- You have not had radiation to your neck or any prior neck surgery that could change your anatomy.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have parathyroid cancer or thyroid cancer that requires removal of the parathyroid gland along with the tumor.

This study uses artificial intelligence to identify important nerves and glands during endoscopic thyroid surgery by analyzing surgical video recordings. The goal is to help surgeons better protect these structures during surgery and improve patient safety.
This study uses past and future parathyroid scan data to train and test an AI tool. The goal is to improve how the scans are interpreted using nuclear medicine imaging from a specific scanning process.
This study looks at how well PET-CT scans can find thyroid or parathyroid problems. The trial uses scans that are already part of your regular care to learn more about these conditions.
This trial tests a new sensor tool that helps surgeons check if a parathyroid gland is healthy during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. It may help doctors decide whether to remove or save the gland, improving outcomes.
This trial tests a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to see how well it shows blood flow to the tiny parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. This may help doctors know right away if the glands are healthy, which could lower the chance of complications.
This study tests a special imaging technique called NIRAF to help surgeons identify parathyroid glands during thyroid removal surgery. The goal is to prevent accidental damage to these glands, which can cause low calcium levels after surgery.
