Differential regional importance mapping for thyroid nodule malignancy prediction with potential to improve needle aspiration biopsy sampling reliability

Differential regional importance mapping for thyroid nodule malignancy prediction with potential to improve needle aspiration biopsy sampling reliability

ObjectiveExisting guidelines for ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy lack specifications on sampling sites, but the number of biopsies improves diagnostic reliability. We propose the use of class activation maps (CAMs) and our modified malignancy-specific heat maps that locate important...
