Abstract excerpt
IntroductionPredicting B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) gene mutations, lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) and central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is crucial for selecting preoperative surgical approaches and predicting survival outcomes in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this study, features extracted from ultrasound images were combined with clinical characteristics to...
