Read our Thyroid Neoplasms research guide →This study evaluates a new imaging device called PTFinder that uses special light to identify parathyroid glands in tissue samples removed during surgery. Researchers want to see if this device can find these glands faster and more reliably than traditional methods. The device also uses artificial intelligence to help recognize the glands automatically.
Finding parathyroid glands during surgery can be challenging, and missing them or damaging them can cause serious complications like low calcium levels after surgery. This trial aims to see if the new imaging technology can make surgery safer and more successful by helping surgeons and pathologists identify these delicate glands more quickly and accurately.

If you qualify, your surgical tissue will be scanned with the PTFinder device immediately after it is removed during your planned surgery. The scan takes a few minutes, and researchers will note how quickly the parathyroid glands are found. Your tissue will also be examined by a second doctor using standard methods, and samples will be sent to the laboratory for confirmation. You will have blood tests to check calcium and other hormone levels at 1 hour, 1 day, and 1 week after surgery.
