Differentiate Thyroid Follicular Adenoma from Carcinoma with Combined Ultrasound Radiomics Features and Clinical Ultrasound Features.

ABSTRACT: Noninvasive differentiating thyroid follicular adenoma from carcinoma preoperatively is of great clinical value to decrease the risks resulted from excessive surgery for patients with follicular neoplasm. The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound radiomics features integrating with ultrasound features in the differentiation between thyroid follicular carcinoma and adenoma. A total of 129 patients diagnosed as thyroid follicular neoplasm with pathologically confirmed follicular adenoma and carcinoma were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. Radiomics features were extracted from preoperative ultrasound images with manually contoured targets. Ultrasound features and clinical parameters were also obtained from electronic medical records.
