Prediction of contralateral central lymph node metastasis in unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma based on radiomics.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine the determinants of contralateral central lymph node metastasis in cases of unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma, utilizing clinical pathological parameters and ultrasound radiomics. The goal is to develop an optimal predictive model that can inform clinical decisions regarding contralateral central lymph node dissection in patients with unilateral papillary thyroid cancer. A cohort of 329 patients diagnosed with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma, all of whom underwent bilateral thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node resection, were analyzed. Clinical data were systematically collected, and a logistic regression analysis model was constructed. The patient cohort was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in an 8:2 ratio. Radiomic
