The study of normal parathyroid echogenicity

Background: Some of the normal parathyroid can be shown on an ultrasound image. To our knowledge, however, either high or low echoic level of the normal parathyroid has been described without the confirmation of an experiment. Therefore, the echogenicity of the normal parathyroid was studied using intraoperative ultrasound. Materials and methods: Between October 2015 and January 2016, the parathyroid was examined in thyroidectomy procedures of 16 contiguous patients with thyroidal disease using an intraoperative array 8 – 18 MHz probe sheathed with a sterilized covering. There were 12 female and 4 male patients…
