Abstract
The present invention relates to a real-time parathyroid imaging device, and a real-time parathyroid imaging device for displaying only a parathyroid in a thyroid with a separate mark, the real-time parathyroid imaging device including: a light source configured to emit light to a thyroid and excite a parathyroid; a detector configured to detect an emission spectrum of the parathyroid excited and emitted by the light source; an excitation filter disposed in front of the light source; and an emission filter disposed in front of the detector. When central Compartment Neck Dissection (CCND) for thyroidectomy is performed, the present invention clearly marks a parathyroid by an autofluorescent image, thereby allowing a surgeon to more simply and safely perform the CCND while leaving the parathyroid.
