The Value of Deep Learning in Differentiating Thyroid Adenomatoid Nodules on Ultrasound: A Dual-Center Study.
Deep learning analysis of ultrasound images accurately distinguishes difficult-to-classify thyroid nodules, reducing unnecessary biopsies.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Follicular neoplasms are difficult to classify by ultrasound, as they often present as thyroid adenomatoid nodules (TANU). RESULTS: The DTL signature achieved the highest AUC of 0.959 in the Test cohort (the DLR, combined, radiomics, and clinical signatures were 0.937, 0.930, 0.835, and 0.599, respectively).
