Ultrasound-based radiomics for prediction of lateral neck lymph node metastasis in patients with medullary thyroid cancer

Key Points

• Lateral neck lymph node metastasis prediction improves with an integrated model using ultrasound and radiomics features.
• Key evidence shows significant accuracy in prediction based on clinical, ultrasound, and radiomics data.
• The approach includes the development of a nomogram model that combines multiple predictive features.
• This nomogram may enable earlier interventions for patients with medullary thyroid cancer, improving outcomes.
