AI trained to spot tiny glands during thyroid surgery
NCT ID NCT05869058
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is developing an artificial intelligence system to help surgeons find and check the blood supply of the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. The parathyroid glands are small and hard to see, and damaging them can cause serious side effects. The AI will be trained using images from 300 patients to see if it can predict which glands are healthy, potentially reducing complications.
