Prediction of Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients With Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Radiomics Method Based on Preoperative Ultrasound Images.
Tongtong LiuShichong ZhouJinhua YuMengyun QiaoYuanyuan WangJin ZhouCai ChangPublished in: Technology in cancer research & treatment (2019)
Papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastasis usually shows a complex echo pattern, posterior region homogeneity, and macrocalcification or multiple calcification. The radiomics model proposed in this article is a promising method for assessing the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasis noninvasively.
