A computer-aided diagnosis system for the assessment and characterization of low-to-high suspicion thyroid nodules on ultrasound

To compare the diagnostic performance of a commercially available computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for thyroid ultrasound (US) with that of a non-computer-aided radiologist in the characterization of low-to-high suspicion thyroid nodules. This retrospective study included a consecutive series of adult patients referred for US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of a thyroid nodule. All patients were eligible for thyroid nodule FNAB...
