In thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy procedures, diagnostic dilemmas related to whether an index tissue is of parathyroid or nonparathyroid origin frequently arise. Current options of frozen section and parathyroid aspiration are time-consuming. Parathyroid glands appear brighter than surrounding tissues on near-infrared autofluorescence imaging. The aim of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence model differentiating parathyroid tissue on surgical specimens based on near-infrared autofluorescence.
