Abstract

Operative intervention on the thyroid and parathyroid glands has been increasingly performed with minimally invasive and selective techniques over the past decade. This often requires a high-quality, preoperative imaging evaluation that provides tumor localization and knowledge of the relevant anatomical considerations. In this chapter imaging modalities are discussed with regards to benign and malignant disease. Indications for thyroid lobectomy, total thyroidectomy, neck dissection, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, and standard cervical exploration (SCE) are discussed.
