What is the utility of near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging during parathyroid surgery?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Parathyroid tissue emits auto fluorescence (AF) in the near infrared spectral range of 700-900 nm when excited by a 785 nm diode laser. It was thought that this technology during surgery could identify parathyroid gland disease from normal parathyroid glands. Thus near-infrared auto fluorescence (NI...
