The aim of the study was to validate a new method for semiautomatic subtraction of [Tc]Tc-sestamibi and [Tc]NaTcO SPECT 3-dimensional datasets using principal component analysis (PCA) against the results of parathyroid surgery and to compare its perf...
Intraoperative guidance plays a pivotal role in enhancing surgical success rates and optimizing patients' prognosis. However, during surgery, the lack of reliable monitoring methods remains a critical challenge. Therefore, we developed an autoencoder...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to generate and validate artificial delayed-phase technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigraphy (aMIBI) images from early-phase technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigraphy (eMIBI) images.
PURPOSE: To train and validate machine learning-derived clinical decision algorithm (CDA) for the diagnosis of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands using preoperative variables to facilitate surgical planning.
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...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model based on high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) images with the aim to identify the functional status of parathyroid glands (PTGs) in secondary hyper-parathyroidism (SHPT) patients.
The objective of this study was to discriminate thyroid and parathyroid tissues using Raman spectroscopy combined with an improved support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. In thyroid surgery, there is a risk of inadvertently removing the parathyroid g...
Ectopic parathyroid tissue in the mediastinum represents a rare and potentially serious clinical entity with challenging diagnostic and surgical management. The main surgical approach for this issue is open thoracotomy, which is a safe technique but ...
Identification and classification of surrounding neck tissues are very important in thyroid surgery. The advantages of optical coherence tomography (OCT), high resolution, non-invasion, and non-destruction make it have great potential in identifying ...
BACKGROUND: In the setting of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), [F]fluorocholine PET/CT (FCH-PET) has excellent diagnostic performance, with experienced practitioners achieving 97.7% accuracy in localising hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue (HPTT)...
