Ultrasound-Based Radiomics and Deep Learning for Prediction of Lateral and Central Lymph Node Metastasis and BRAF Gene Mutation in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
IntroductionPredicting B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) gene mutations, lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) and central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is crucial for selecting preoperative surgical approaches and predicting survival outcomes in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this...
