Improved Prediction of Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Patients Using AI
AI trained by thyroid ultrasound improved prediction of lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. The multi-scale, multi-frame, and dual-direction deep learning model achieved AUCs of 0.85 and 0.81 in the test and validation cohorts, respectively. Radiologists’ diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity significantly improved with AI assistance. This technology can enhance preoperative predictions and assist in individualized patient management.
A large study shows that percutaneous combined intraoperative neuromonitoring significantly reduces vocal cord palsy in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy.
