Thyroid ultrasonography is an important element of clinical thyroid diagnostics. Unfortunately, the results of this technique can vary based on the skill and experience of the operator. A new study suggests that assessment of ultrasound images using artificial intelligence has similar sensitivity and improved specificity compared with the judgement of experienced radiologists.
