Prediction of Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm and Malignancy of Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm Using Multiparametric MRI.

ABSTRACT: The study aims to evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiating Follicular thyroid neoplasm (FTN) from non-FTN and malignant FTN (MFTN) from benign FTN (BFTN). We retrospectively analyzed 702 postoperatively confirmed thyroid nodules, and divided them into training (n = 482) and validation (n = 220) cohorts. The 133 FTNs were further split into BFTN (n = 116) and MFTN (n = 17) groups. Employing univariate and multivariate logistic regression, we identified independent predictors of FTN and MFTN, and subsequently develop a nomogram for FTN and a risk score system (RSS) for MFTN prediction. We assessed performance of nomogram through its discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. The diagnostic performance of the RSS for MFTN was further compared with
