AI-Assisted Ultrasound Review Before Thyroid Surgery
Clinical Application of AI-assisted Ultrasound Technology in the Preoperative Evaluation of Thyroid Cancer
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This prospective, single-center, single-arm study evaluates a locked artificial intelligence (AI) system as a surgeon-led second-read tool before thyroid surgery. Eligible participants scheduled for thyroid surgery undergo standard ultrasonography followed by a standardized AI-assisted repeat examination. The AI system evaluates thyroid nodules only; cervical lymph nodes are assessed by clinicians. The study assesses participant-level supplementary pathological examinations and treatment-decision changes and evaluates nodule-level diagnostic performance against final surgical histopathology.
