Intraoperative near-infrared autofluorescence in parathyroidectomy: associations with gland morphology, body mass index, and histopathology
NIRAF probes improve the accuracy and safety of parathyroidectomy. Positive NIRAF detection is significantly correlated with parathyroid volume, BMI, and pathology, making it particularly useful for patients with smaller BMI, smaller gland volume, and diffuse hyperplasia.
