Assessing agreement with a single-center expert consensus: artificial intelligence-assisted teleultrasound for thyroid nodules categorized as C-TIRADS 4A or higher
-
1
The study evaluated diagnostic agreement between AI-assisted teleultrasound and expert consensus for thyroid nodules classified as C-TIRADS 4A or higher.
-
2
Among 587 thyroid nodules, 80 classified as C-TIRADS 4A or higher were analyzed using an AI diagnostic system and compared to expert assessments.
-
3
Diagnostic consistency between community medical institutions and teleultrasound was poor, while the AI system showed good agreement with teleultrasound.
-
4
The AI system achieved a sensitivity of 97.1% and specificity of 100.0% at the C-TIRADS 4A threshold, indicating high diagnostic performance.
-
5
AI-assisted teleultrasound can improve diagnostic agreement in evaluating thyroid nodules, achieving consistency comparable to expert-level assessments.
