Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in PTC aggressiveness and recurrence. CD31, an endothelial marker, provides a histological correlate of tumor vascularity. This study aimed to establish a multimodal imaging framework using Doppler ultrasound (US) and dual-energy CT (DECT) to capture CD31-associated vascular phenotypes for recurrence risk stratification. METHODS: A total of 414 PTC patients (training...
