Abstract

BACKGROUND: Thyroid cancer, a common endocrine malignancy, has seen increasing incidence, making lymph node metastasis (LNM) a critical factor for recurrence and survival. Radiomics and deep learning (DL) advancements offer the potential for improved LNM prediction using CT and MRI, though challenges in diagnostic accuracy remain.
