Intraoperative detection of parathyroid glands using artificial intelligence: optimizing medical image training with data augmentation methods.

Journal: Surgical endoscopy
PMID: 39138679

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is a major complication of thyroidectomy, occurring when the parathyroid glands are inadvertently damaged during surgery. Although intraoperative images are rarely used to train artificial intelligence (AI) because of its complex nature, AI may be trained to intraoperatively detect parathyroid glands using various augmentation methods. The purpose of this study was to train an effective AI model to detect parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy.
