Abstract

Background Intraoperative near-infrared imaging (NIFI) of parathyroid glands (PG) by first-generation technology had limited image quality and depth penetration. Second-generation NIFI has recently been introduced. Our aim was to compare (1) capability to detect PG and (2) image quality between older and newer technologies.
