Background: As a novel ultrasonic technique, superb microvascular imaging (SMI) can quickly, simply and noninvasively observe the microvascular distribution in a tumor and evaluate the microvascular perfusion. Previous studies have shown that SMI can detect the blood flow signals of neovascularization in tumors and increase the sensitivity for detecting thyroid cancer. However, the results of these studies have been contradictory, and the sample sizes were too small. Therefore, the present meta-analysis will aim at evaluating the value of a thyroid imaging report and data system (TI-RADS) combined with SMI in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Methods: We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Chinese biomedical databases from their inceptions to the June 31, 2020. Two authors will independently carry out searching literature records; scanning titles, abstracts, and full texts; collecting data; and assessing risk of bias. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata14.0 software will be used for data analysis.
Results: This systematic review will evaluate the value of TI-RADS combined with SMI in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Systematic Review Registration: INPLASY202070113.

Article Synopsis
- Surgery is the main treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but MIBI-avid thyroid nodules can make it hard to find parathyroid adenomas.
- A 49-year-old woman with hypercalcemia had imaging tests that indicated thyroid nodules, but further scans helped locate an adenoma better.
- Combining various imaging methods like SPECT/CT and 4D CT is critical for successful surgery and improving results in patients with PHPT.

Introduction: This study explored the clinical value and application of ultrasound contrast imaging technology in the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) TR4 benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the medical records of 40 patients who met the inclusion criteria between January 2020 and December 2023. Each patient was evaluated using the ACR TI-RADS classification and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).

This study included 468 patients and aimed to use multimodal ultrasound radiomic technology to predict the malignancy of TI-RADS 4-5 thyroid nodules. First, radiomic features are extracted from conventional two-dimensional ultrasound (transverse ultrasound and longitudinal ultrasound), strain elastography (SE), and shear-wave-imaging (SWE) images. Next, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is used to screen out features related to malignant tumors.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the effectiveness of an FDA-cleared AI tool (Koios DS Thyroid) for identifying malignancy in thyroid nodules via ultrasound by analyzing 649 nodules and their pathology results.
- - It compared four groups: AI with and without an adapter, clinical radiology reports, and radiology reports combined with the AI-adapter, focusing on metrics like sensitivity and specificity.
- - Results indicated that the AI with adapter performed equally to radiologists in overall accuracy but had better specificity and decreased sensitivity; the best outcomes were achieved when combining both radiology reports and the AI-adapter.

Rationale And Objectives: To develop a radiomics model with enhanced diagnostic performance, reduced unnecessary fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) rate, and improved clinical net benefit for thyroid nodules.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 217 thyroid nodules. Lesions were divided into training (n = 152) and verification (n = 65) cohorts.
