Near-infrared auto-fluorescence spectroscopy combining with Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis improves intraoperative real-time identification of normal parathyroid in thyroidectomy
Abstract Background To evaluate the efficacy of a sensitive, real-time tool for identification and protection for parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy. Methods Near-infrared (NIR) auto-fluorescence was measured intraoperatively from 20 patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Spectra were measured from...
