Abstract

This article explores the clinical value of the artificial intelligence computer-aided diagnosis system in the diagnosis of superficial lymph nodes. In this study, characteristic ultrasonic parameters of 185 cases of lymph nodes (including 110 benign and 75 malignant) confirmed by pathology were quantified by the superficial lymphadenopathy computer-aided diagnosis system, including margin, appearance, medulla proportion, medulla distribution, echogenicity, echogeneity, vascular density, and vascular pattern. A nonparametric rank sum test was used between the parameters. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the artificial intelligence computer-aided diagnosis system in the diagnosis of superficial lymph nodes were 80.0%, 80.9%, and 80.5%. The characteristics of margin, appearance, medulla proportion, medulla distribution, echogenicity, echogeneity, vascular density, and vascular pattern could identify benign and malignant lymph nodes. The artificial intelligence superficial lymphadenopathy computer-aided diagnosis system can screen out the characteristic ultrasonic parameters of benign and malignant lymph nodes, which has important value in lymph node clinical diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence for rapid on-site evaluation of lymph node fine-needle aspiration: improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy

Background Lymphadenopathy may result from inflammation, tuberculosis, or tumors, with lymph node status being a key prognostic indicator. Early accurate differentiation of benign and malignant lesions is therefore vital for clinical management. Although imaging offers adjunctive information, histopathology and cytolog...

Classification of Ultrasound Features of Superficially Located Lymph Nodes

Assessment of lymphatic drainage areas is a critical task in ultrasound (US) examination of organs and tissues involved in various pathological processes. Superficially located lymph nodes (LNs) are more accessible for US evaluation. The numerous LN changes identified in ultrasound often are challenging for interpretat...
