To explore the value of radiomics in thyroid carcinoma.
Methods:
Seventy-seven cases with unifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were chosen. The ultrasound examines were performed before surgery. The ultrasound images were analyzed and predicted lymph nodes metastasis by radiomics. The radiomics results were compared with pathological results.
Results:
There were 27 cases with lymph node metastasis. Among them
4 cases were diagnosed by ultrasound before surgery. There were 50 cases without lymph node metastasis. Among them
47 cases were diagnosed by ultrasound before surgery. Compared with pathological results
the accuracy
sensitivity and specificity of lymph node metastasis prediction by radiomics were 73.1%
71.4% and 74.0%
respectively.
Conclusion:
There are certain value
and great potential to determine the lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma by radiomics.
