headline: Development and Validation of a Picture Archiving and Communication System-Integrated Artificial Intelligence for Predicting Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
dek: The objective of this study is to develop and validate a Picture Archiving and Communication System-integrated artificial intelligence (PACS-AI) tool for automated neck-level localization, three-dimensional (3D) segmentation, and metastasis risk prediction of cervical lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CT images from 710 patients with PTC, including 4942 LNs, were retrospectively collected from two medical centers and divided into training, internal test, and external test coho…

quick_read: The objective of this study is to develop and validate a Picture Archiving and Communication System-integrated artificial intelligence (PACS-AI) tool for automated neck-level localization, three-dimensional (3D) segmentation, and metastasis risk prediction of cervical lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CT images from 710 patients with PTC, including 4942 LNs, were retrospectively collected from two medical centers and divided into training, internal test, and external test cohorts.

The AI model consisted of a 3D TransUNet partition network, a Swin UNETR segmentation network, and a 3D U-Net classification network, all of which were integrated into the PACS. Additional data from 202 patients with PTC (including 202 LNs) were collected from the aforementioned two centers to evaluate the improvement in radiologists' diagnostic performance with PACS-AI assistance.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1150 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
