Summary

This study is developing an artificial intelligence system to help surgeons locate the parathyroid glands and check their blood supply during thyroid surgery. The parathyroid glands are small and hard to see, and damaging them can cause serious side effects. Researchers will train the AI using images from 300 patients who are having their thyroid removed.
