摘要：
The present invention relates to a parathyroid sensing system, and includes: a modulator for generating a modulation signal having a predetermined frequency； a lock-in amplifier and a light source which receive information on the modulation signal； an excitation filter for transmitting, among light emitted from the light source, only excitation light that excites parathyroid glands； an emission filter connected to a probe and selectively transmitting only fluorescence emitted from the parathyroid glands； a near-infrared sensor for sensing the autofluorescence that has passed through the emission filter, and converting the sensed autofluorescence into an electric signal； and a speaker for generating an alarm through the electric signal.Through the present invention, the locations of the parathyroid glands may be precisely identified even when lights are turned on in an operating room, and convenience may be provided by alerting a surgeon by means of an alarm when the parathyroid glands are detected. In addition, the locations of the parathyroid glands may be precisely detected, even when the probe is not directly in contact with the parathyroid glands, by using the autofluorescence characteristics of the parathyroid glands.
