Ultrasound-based radiomics for prediction of lateral neck lymph node metastasis in patients with medullary thyroid cancer
Key Points
Lateral neck lymph node metastasis prediction improves with an integrated model using ultrasound and radiomics features.
Key evidence shows significant accuracy in prediction based on clinical, ultrasound, and radiomics data.
The approach includes the development of a nomogram model that combines multiple predictive features.
This nomogram may enable earlier interventions for patients with medullary thyroid cancer, improving outcomes.
Abstract
This study developed a nomogram model that integrated clinical, ultrasound, and radiomics features that could be used to predict LLNM in patients with MTC.
