U.S., June 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07617584) titled 'NIRAF-Guided Parathyroid Identification During Thyroidectomy' on May 21.
Brief Summary: This is a single-site, two-component prospective study evaluating whether near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging can improve intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy and reduce postoperative hypocalcemia.
The investigational platform is a modified wearable stereoscopic goggle system configured for label-free NIRAF imaging. Parathyroid tissue is excited with near-infrared light at approximately 780 nm and emits autofluorescence centered near 800 nm. No injected dye or external contrast agent is used. The gog...
