Abstract: |
Background Detection of normal and pathologic parathyroid glands often is difficult due to their variability in number and location. We have implemented photosensitizer-induced fluorescence for the routine intraoperative identification of parathyroids for the surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism. |
