THE VALUE OF RADIOMICS BASED CT IMAGING MODEL IN DISTINGUISHING BENIGN AND MALIGNANT THYROID NODULES

Abstract

Objective to investigate the value of CT radiomics mode in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods The clinical and imaging data of 179 patients with thyroid nodules confirmed by pathology from May 2017 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed in the Affiliated Huaian First People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Among the patients, 89 cases were benign nodules and 90 cases were malignant nodules. All patients underwent unenhanced and enhanced CT scan before operation. The stratified random sampling method was used to divide patients into a training group (143 cases) and a testing group (36 cases) according to a ratio of 8∶2. The A.K software was used to extract 378 imaging omics
