Abstract

Improvement of diagnostic methods has led to the creation of equipment that allows accurate results to be obtained in a short period of time. Novel technologies based on current scientific knowledge have allowed for the construction of devices which work practically in real time. Scientific progress has also predetermined the creation of portable instruments which can be easily transported and placed by the operation table. All of this has become part of the prerequisites for development of the novel modalities for both intraoperative topical diagnostics of abnormal parathyroid glands and quick assessment of the adequacy of performed surgical intervention, which is even more important. These intraoperative modalities, which are widely utilized today, involve US, gamma detection, differential staining, and rapid determination of intact PTH.
