Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18 to 75 years, regardless of sex; 2. Thyroid nodule indicated by ultrasound, with no more than one nodule requiring treatment, and meeting either of the following conditions: (1) Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma confirmed by FNA or CNB, with tumor diameter <=1 cm; (2) Benign nodule confirmed by FNA, with nodule diameter <= 3 cm; 3. No extrathyroidal invasion of the lesion; 4. No imaging or clinical evidence of distant metastasis or lymph node metastasis; 5. The patient is assessed as unable to tolerate surgical treatment due to their own condition, or subjectively refuses surgical treatment after being fully informed; 6. Voluntarily participates in this study and signs the informed consent form, and is able to comply with follow-up visits and examinations required by the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Family history of thyroid cancer, or history of cervical radiation exposure during adolescence or childhood; 2. Presence of coarse calcification within the lesion; 3. Patients with implanted devices such as a cardiac pacemaker or metal stent; 4. Patients with a history of epilepsy or myocardial infarction within the past six months; severe cardiac or pulmonary disease; severe hepatic or renal dysfunction/failure, defined as total bilirubin >= 2 times the upper limit of normal, AST or ALT >= 2 times the upper limit of normal, creatinine >= 1.5 times the upper limit of normal; hemoglobin < 70 g/L or platelet count < 80×10?/L; 5. Coagulation disorder with severe bleeding tendency, or use of anticoagulant drugs within one week; 6.
