Intraoperative detection of parathyroid glands using artificial intelligence: optimizing medical image training with data augmentation methods.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is a major complication of thyroidectomy, occurring when the parathyroid glands are inadvertently damaged during surgery. Although intraoperative images are rarely used to train artificial intelligence (AI) because of its complex nature, AI may be trained to intraoperatively detect parathyroid glands using various augmentation methods. The purpose of this study was to train an effective AI model to detect parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy.

Methods

Video clips of the parathyroid gland were collected during thyroid lobectomy procedures. Confirmed parathyroid images were used to train three types of datasets according to augmentation status: baseline, geometric transformation, and generative adversarial network-based image inpai
