Super-Resolution Ultrasound Radiomics Nomogram for Preoperative Prediction of Lateral Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Development and Validation Study.

The optimal radiomics model from the training set was combined with clinical risk factors to construct a nomogram.

Finally, the diagnostic performance of the nomogram was compared with that of fine-needle aspiration cytology (fine-needle aspiration cytology) and thyroglobulin (FNA-Tg) measurements.

Among the 171 lymph nodes, 104 were malignant and 67 were benign.

The B-mode + contrast-enhanced ultrasound + super-resolution ultrasound model performed best among three radiomics models (validation set AUC = 0.892).
