Multi-modal ultrasound multistage classification of PTC cervical lymph node metastasis via DualSwinThyroid.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to predict cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with high accuracy. To achieve this, we introduce a novel deep learning model, DualSwinThyroid, leveraging multi-modal ultrasound imaging data for prediction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assembled a substantial dataset consisting of 3652 multi-modal ultrasound images from 299 PTC patients in this retrospective study. The newly developed DualSwinThyroid model integrates various ultrasound modalities and clinical data. Following its creation, we rigorously assessed the model's performance against a separate testing set, comparing it with established machine learning models and previous deep learning approaches.
RESULTS: Demonstrating remarkable precision, DualSwinThyroid achieved an AUC of 0.924 and an 96.3% accuracy on the test set. The model efficiently processed multi-modal data, pinpointing features indicative of lymph node metastasis in thyroid nodule ultrasound images. It offers a three-tier classification that aligns each level with a specific surgical strategy for PTC treatment.
CONCLUSION: DualSwinThyroid, a deep learning model designed with multi-modal ultrasound radiomics, effectively estimates the degree of cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC patients. In addition, it also provides early, precise identification and facilitation of interventions for high-risk groups, thereby enhancing the strategic selection of surgical approaches in managing PTC patients.
