Artificial Intelligent Accelerates the Learning Curve for Mastering Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound of Thyroid Nodules

Artificial Intelligent Accelerates the Learning Curve for Mastering Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System of Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound


Sponsor

Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Jan 3, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the learning curve for mastering the thyroid imaging reporting and data system of contrast-enhanced ultrasound with the assistance of artificial intelligence in patients with thyroid nodules. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can we develop a artificial intelligent software to assist doctors in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules using contrast-enhanced ultrasound? 2. Can artificial intelligent reduce the number of cases and time for doctors to master the contrast-enhanced ultrasound diagnosis of thyroid nodules? Participants will be asked to undergo contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of thyroid nodules. Researchers will compare the number of cases and time for doctors with and without artificial intelligent assistance to master the contrast-enhanced ultrasound diagnosis of thyroid nodules to see if artificial intelligent reduce the number of cases and time.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors learn faster to interpret contrast-enhanced ultrasound (a type of imaging using a dye) of thyroid nodules, speeding up accurate diagnosis of thyroid cancer. **You may be eligible if:** - You have a thyroid nodule at least 5 mm in size confirmed by regular ultrasound - You have had contrast-enhanced ultrasound, regular ultrasound, and a fine-needle aspiration biopsy - Your biopsy returned a clearly benign or malignant result **You may NOT be eligible if:** - Your biopsy result was inconclusive (Bethesda categories I, III, or IV) and no final diagnosis was made - You have previously had thyroid ablation or surgery - Your ultrasound images are poor quality Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
