Figure 1 provides an algorithm to address thyroid nodules. An appropriate history includes questions relating to a history of head or neck irradiation and a family history of thyroid cancer.

Zhang and colleagues conducted a retrospective study weighing the effectiveness of using preselected algorithms to identify and diagnose 2,064 thyroid nodules from 2,032 patients (mean age, 45.3 ...

CHICAGO — In the latest effort to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to the challenging task of classifying thyroid nodules, an image similarity algorithm shows accuracy that is similar ...

researchers showed that a machine learning algorithm was able to diagnose thyroid nodules as well if not better than radiologists. Despite such promising results, the study of these types of tools ...

The locked algorithm uses expression of 167 genes to classify aspirated material from thyroid nodules as either benign or suspicious. There are 142 genes in the main classifier (benign or ...

Thyroid nodules commonly develop in humans and are variable in size, shape and location. Most of these growths are not cancer but may create symptoms of discomfort over time depending on the size ...

However, small lumps known as thyroid nodules can sometimes form within the gland, causing significant concern among those affected. If you or someone you know is affected, you are not alone ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: A thyroid ultrasound showed four small nodules on my thyroid. My blood levels are within normal limits. My doctor said I did not need a follow-up. What do you think? -- J.M. ANSWER ...

The thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the front of the neck, is part of the endocrine system. Small lumps or bumps, called nodules, are often present — and may or may not be ...

Thyroid nodule treatment has entered a new era with non-surgical options like Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Microwave ...
