Autofluorescence detection and co-axial projection for intraoperative localization of parathyroid gland

Abstract Background Near-infrared (NIR) autofluorescence detection is an effective method for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) in thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. Fiber optical probes provide quantitative autofluorescence measurements for PG detection owing to its high sensitivity and high ex...
