Ultrasound characteristics of follicular and parafollicular thyroid neoplasms: diagnostic performance of artificial neural network

ConclusionsOur data indicate that some MTCs, PTCs, FTCs, and FTAs have distinctive sonographic characteristics. However, a significant overlap of these characteristics may impede an explicit classification. Further prospective investigations involving larger patient and nodule numbers and multicenter access should be pursued to determine if neural networks of this sort are beneficial, helping to classify neoplasms of the thyroid gland.
