Current Perspectives in the Diagnosis of Parathyroid Disease - Volume II

Given the success of Research Topic Current Perspectives in the Diagnosis of Parathyroid Disease and the rapidly evolving subject area, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II.

The field of parathyroid disease diagnosis is a critical area of endocrinology, focusing on the regulation and maintenance of calcium homeostasis by the parathyroid glands. Despite significant advancements in diagnostic techniques, clinicians and healthcare professionals continue to face challenges in accurately diagnosing parathyroid conditions. Recent developments in imaging modalities and the identification of diagnostic biomarkers have contributed to improved patient outcomes. However, there remains considerable debate regarding the precise role, utility, and benefits of these interventions. Additionally, there is notable international variability in the application of these diagnostic techniques, highlighting the need for a more standardized approach. This ongoing debate underscores the necessity for further investigation into the efficacy and implementation of these diagnostic advancements.

This Research Topic aims to explore the advances and controversies surrounding the diagnosis of common parathyroid conditions. The primary objectives include examining the techniques that assist in potential surgical interventions, surgical approaches, and specific medical treatments. By addressing these areas, the topic seeks to provide clarity on the current diagnostic practices and their implications for patient care. The goal is to answer critical questions about the effectiveness of new diagnostic tools and to test hypotheses related to their clinical utility and outcomes.

To gather further insights in the evolving landscape of parathyroid disease diagnosis, we welcome Original Research, Reviews, Perspectives and Mini Review articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Controversies in the diagnosis of parathyroid disease
- Recent advances in diagnostic techniques in parathyroid disease
- Advances in parathyroid imaging
- Potential biomarkers used for the diagnosis of parathyroid disease
- Prediction models and algorithms for the diagnosis of parathyroid disease.
