Breast and thyroid cancers are the two common cancers to affect women worldwide. Ultrasonography (US) is a commonly used non-invasive imaging modality to detect breast and thyroid cancers, but its clinical diagnostic accuracy for these cancers is con...
BACKGROUND: Central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) occurs frequently in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), but performing prophylactic central lymph node dissection is still controversial. There are no reliable models for predicting CLNM. Th...
Non-invasive assessment of the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is of great value for the treatment option selection. The purpose of this paper is to develop a transfer learning radiomics (TLR) mo...
Radiologists very frequently encounter incidental findings related to the thyroid gland. Given increases in imaging use over the past several decades, thyroid incidentalomas are increasingly encountered in clinical practice, and it is important for r...

BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are extremely common and typically diagnosed with ultrasound whether benign or malignant. Imaging diagnosis assisted by Artificial Intelligence has attracted much attention in recent years. The aim of our study was to build...
BACKGROUND: Cosmetic satisfaction is not only based on the patient's perception of the scar itself but is also related to body image self-evaluation. Cosmetic superiority of Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) over conventional thyroide...
The accurate detection of radioactive iodine-avid lymph node (LN) metastasis on I post-ablation whole-body planar scans (RxWBSs) is important in tracking the progression of the metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (...
Computer-aided diagnosis systems have been developed to assist doctors in diagnosing thyroid nodules to reduce errors made by traditional diagnosis methods, which are mainly based on the experiences of doctors. Therefore, the performance of such syst...
