Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-assisted model for the preoperative prediction of lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LCLNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) using computed tomography (CT) radiomics, providing a new noninvasive and accurate diagnostic tool for PTC patients with LCLNM.
