La diagnostica del nodulo tiroideo si basa su ecografia ed esame citologico, gravati da variabilità interosservatore, malgrado l’adozione di sistemi classificativi. Sistemi di supporto alla diagnosi basati su intelligenza artificiale possono migliorare concordanza e performance diagnostica. Tali software, alcuni in commercio, possiedono una resa diagnostica sovrapponibile a quella degli esperti (il cui giudizio non risulta migliorato) e possono essere un supporto per i clinici meno esperti e durante la formazione.

Abstract
The diagnosis of thyroid nodules is based on ultrasound and cytological examination, which is burdened by inter-observer variability, despite adopting adequate classification systems. AI-based diagnostic support systems can improve concordance and diagnostic performance. These software tools, some already available on the market, possess have a diagnostic performance comparable to that of experts (whose judgment is not improved) and may support less expert clinicians and physicians in training.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
