甲状旁腺自发荧光识别技术在甲状腺及甲状旁腺手术中的应用

Application of ParathyroidAutofluorescence Recognition Technology in Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery

甲状腺手术需要识别并保护甲状旁腺,甲状旁腺手术亦需要识别并完整切除病变的甲状旁腺。术中准确识别甲状旁腺一直是至关重要的临床问题。近年来研究发现:甲状旁腺组织内存在有别于其它组织的独特的荧光团,其在近红外光照射下可激发出荧光。基于此原理,我们利用近红外成像技术,通过检测甲状旁腺自发荧光,而成功识别了甲状旁腺。

Thyroid surgery needs to identify and protect the parathyroid glands. Parathyroid surgery also needs to identify and completely remove the diseased parathyroid glands. Accurate identification of parathyroid glands during surgery has always been a crucial clinical issue. In recent years, studies have found that there are unique fluorophores in parathyroid tissue that are different from other tissues, which can excite fluorescence under the irradiation of near infrared light. Based on this principle, we have used near-infrared imaging technology to successfully identify the parathyroid glands by detecting the parathyroid autofluorescence.
