First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This early study tested a non-invasive hand-held imaging device to help surgeons identify parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. Accidental removal or damage to these glands can cause low calcium levels and longer hospital stays. The study involved 20 adults with thyroid conditions who needed surgery, and compared the imager's findings to what surgeons could see with the naked eye.
