Applications of machine learning and deep learning to thyroid imaging: where do we stand?

Ultrasonography (US) is the primary diagnostic tool used to assess the risk of malignancy and to inform decision-making regarding the use of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and post-FNA management in patients with thyroid nodules. However, since US image interpretation is operator-dependent and interob...
