Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current ultrasound-based screening for endometrial cancer (EC) primarily relies on endometrial thickness (ET) and morphological evaluation, which suffer from low specificity and high interobserver variability. This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostic model to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce variability.
