About this trial

Since the anatomical location and appearance of the parathyroid gland (PTG) vary, detection of the PTG and preserving the blood supply are among the difficulties encountered during a thyroidectomy procedure. We are planning to train a deep convolutional neural network based on a larger sample of endoscopic images to develop a model to assist surgeons in detection of PTG during endoscopic thyroidectomy. Furthermore, we would like to train a DCNN to predict blood perfusion based on endoscopic images comparing to indocyanine green fluorescence angiography as reference standard, and assess the performance of DCNN in predicting postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
