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 computer video analysis to help surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands and the nerve that controls your voice during endoscopic thyroid surgery. If you join, the team will record your surgery and use the video to improve the technology that could reduce complications.
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 tests a new device that helps surgeons see parathyroid glands during surgery, so they can confirm the gland is removed correctly and reduce complications. It may help you by making your minimally invasive parathyroidectomy more precise and safer.
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 trial tests whether a special camera (autofluorescence) can help surgeons find abnormal parathyroid glands during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. It involves exploratory surgery, not a focused approach, and may help improve surgical success.
This study tests a special imaging technique that helps surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. It may reduce the risk of damage to these glands, which control calcium levels.
