Thyroid nodule is a common form of endocrine system disease manifested as abnormal growth of thyroid gland cells, with an incidence rate as high as 68%1. Since most thyroid nodules are benign and low-risk, avoiding excessive treatment is essential to prevent unnecessary interventions. The key to...
where Yi was the real one-hot label of the nodule, \(\hat Y_i\) was the classification vector predicted by the classification sub-model, and β was the penalty parameter to deal with the imbalanced data. The L2 regularizer was defined as the 2-norm of MLP weight W as $$L_r = \...
(A) The ROC curve of citrate showing the ability as a discriminator of a thyroid nodule. (B) Multiple ROC curve analysis showing that all the seven metabolites had additive values in discriminating benign thyroid nodules from papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). The single most important discrimina...
Thyroid ultrasonography, although not able to differentiate benign and malignant lesions, is useful for assessing the number and size of the nodule(s) and the structure of the extranodular thyroid, and also for guiding the aspiration of poorly palpable nodules. Papillary carcinomas occur at any ...
the smallest nodule in which UG-FNAB was successfully performed, sufficient diagnostic material was obtained and a malignant process was revealed, measured 3 mm in diameter (Table I). Generally, the median size of TMC in each patient varies from 4.1–8.0 mm in diameter, but cases of microcarci...
Comparison of the harmonic focus and the thunderbeat for open thyroidectomy Article 25 May 2016 Comparative efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation in benign thyroid nodule treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis Article 24 July 2024 Data...
The largest ultrasound nodule size had a median of 25 mm (IQR 11.5–40 mm) (Table 1). The most commonly affected levels of the neck were IV (76.2%), III (71.4%), IIa (61.9%), and IIb (57.1%) (Fig. 1). The TI-RADS classification was 1 in none of the patients, 2 in four...
Although we did not perform an analysis of the correlation of age, gender and nodule size with the malignancy rate, we believe that these results are valuable as they are consistent with the literature. Future studies should determine whether a correlation exists between the malignancy rate and ...
b Enrollment and exclusion criteria for pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), pediatric benign nodule and adult PTC patients. Full size image Three clinical features are the risk factors for PPTC recurrence To identify the clinical recurrence risk factors in our study cohort, we built a ...
Mean nodule size (mm) 19.57 ± 8.70 15.23 ± 5.63 17.57 ± 7.73 <0.001 3.2. Pathological and ACR TI-RADS classification Among the 593 thyroid nodules, 208 were benign and 385 were malignant. FNA confirmed that 151 of 208 benign nodules had no specific pathological type, and the remaining ...
