Goiter

32
Goiter refers to an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland that may appear as a diffuse goiter (uniform enlargement) or nodular (single or multiple nodules). Functionally, it is classified as nontoxic (normal/low hormone levels) or toxic (excess hormone production).PathophysiologyDiffuse thyroid enlargement typically results from prolonged stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or TSH-like agents, commonly seen in hypothyroidism or iodine deficiency. In contrast, in hyperthyroid...

Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) models show variable agreement when assessing thyroid nodule (TN) malignancy risk using different Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data Systems (TIRADSs). This variability highlights the need for awareness among clinicians and patients regarding AI interpretations in thyroid nodule assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging
  • Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
  • Oncology and Cancer Research

Background:

  • Ultrasound (US) is crucial for assessing thyroid nodule (TN) malignancy risk (RoM).
  • International Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data Systems (TIRADSs) guide TN assessment.
  • The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates understanding AI's interpretation of TIRADSs and agreement in TN risk stratification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze interobserver agreement (IOA) among AI models in assessing TN RoM.
  • To compare AI performance across different TIRADSs categories (ACR-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS, K-TIRADS).
  • To evaluate AI interpretation of TIRADSs terminology and risk assessment consistency.

Main Methods:

  • Three AI models (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude) were utilized.
  • AI assessments were performed using scenarios based on ACR-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS, and K-TIRADS.
  • Interobserver agreement was quantified using kappa (κ) values.

Main Results:

  • Kappa values for IOA varied significantly across AI models and TIRADSs.
  • With ACR-TIRADS, κ ranged from 0.53 to 0.90.
  • With EU-TIRADS, κ ranged from 0.62 to 0.73.
  • With K-TIRADS, κ ranged from 0.61 to 0.88.

Conclusions:

  • Non-negligible variability exists in AI-driven TN risk assessment.
  • Clinicians and patients should be informed about AI interpretation variability.
  • Further research is needed to standardize AI application in thyroid nodule evaluation.
