Read our Thyroid Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Thyroid cancer surgery is very effective, but removing your entire thyroid gland can sometimes damage your parathyroid glands—small glands that control calcium levels in your blood. This trial is testing whether the EleVision IR camera system, a special infrared imaging tool, can help surgeons see and protect these glands during the operation, reducing the chance of developing a condition called hypoparathyroidism (low calcium levels) that can require lifelong treatment.
Even though hypoparathyroidism is considered preventable, it still happens fairly often after thyroid cancer surgery and can cause lifelong health problems. This trial exists to see if using special imaging technology to help surgeons better visualize and protect the parathyroid glands during surgery can reduce this complication.

You will have thyroid cancer surgery as you normally would. Half of participants will have surgery with the standard approach, while the other half will have surgery where the surgeon uses the EleVision IR camera system to visualize and protect your parathyroid glands during the operation. The study will follow you after surgery to monitor your calcium levels and check whether the special imaging camera helps prevent low calcium problems.
