Condition: Thyroid Neoplasms · Hyperparathyroidism · Parathyroid Gland · Sponsor: Bo Wang,MD
This study tests PTFinder, a dual-camera system that makes parathyroid glands glow on screen by capturing their natural near-infrared autofluorescence. After a thyroid or parathyroid operation, the removed tissue is scanned with PTFinder and then checked again under normal white light. We will measure how fast (seconds) and how accurately the device finds real glands, confirmed by frozen pathology or a rapid PTH strip. About 180 adult patients at three Chinese hospitals will join. The imaging adds only a few minutes and does not change any part of the surgery. We will also record blood calcium and PTH at 1 h, 24 h, and 7 d after surgery to see whether better gland recovery lowers low-calcium risk.Collected images will also be used to train and test a deep-learning model for fully automated parathyroid recognition; model performance metrics constitute secondary outcomes.
