Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Conditions
Interventions
Gold Standard:Pathological findings after surgery as the final diagnostic criterion. Specifically:
1. Metastatic lymph nodes: confirmed by postoperative pathology showing PTC metastasis
2. Benign lymph nodes: FNA cytology diagnosed as benign, and if no lateral neck dissection was performed, follow-up =1 year with no significant changes in size or morphology.
Index test:The diagnosis results of knowledge inference with fusion of contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging features
