BACKGROUND: Previous work demonstrated that abnormal versus normal parathyroid glands (PGs) exhibit different patterns of autofluorescence, with former appearing darker and more heterogenous. Our objective was to develop a visual artificial intellige...
OBJECTIVE: It is important to detect parathyroid adenomas by parathyroid scintigraphy with 99m-technetium sestamibi (Tc-MIBI) before surgery. This study aimed to develop and validate deep learning (DL)-based models to detect parathyroid adenoma in pa...
BACKGROUND: Previous work showed that normal and abnormal parathyroid glands exhibit different patterns of autofluorescence, with the former appearing brighter and more homogenous. However, an objective algorithm based on quantified measurements was ...
Background/aim: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by increased calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Surgical removal of the culprit hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is the preferred treatment. In this study, we aimed...
BACKGROUND: 20%-25% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism will have multigland disease (MGD). Preoperatative imaging can be inaccurate or unnecessary in MGD. Identification of MGD could direct the need for imaging and inform operative approach...
BACKGROUND: Near-infrared indocyanine green angiography allows experienced surgeons to reliably evaluate parathyroid gland vitality during thyroid and parathyroid operations in order to predict postoperative function. To facilitate equal performance ...
INTRODUCTION: Near-infrared autofluorescence imaging (NIFI) can be used to identify parathyroid gland (PG) during surgery. The purpose of the study is to establish a new model, help surgeons better identify, and protect PGs.
INTRODUCTION: The objective of the study was to use fuzzy logic-based moving average filters for reducing noise from Tc-99m-sestamibi parathyroid images and to compare its performance with classical moving average filters.
