Analysis of artificial intelligence in thyroid diagnostics and surgery: A scoping review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence provides numerous applications in the healthcare sector. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the extent of the current application of artificial intelligence in thyroid diagnostics. METHODS: Our protocol was based on the Scoping Reviews extension of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA-ScR). Information was gathered from PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases and Google Scholar. Eligible studies were published between 2017 and 2022. RESULTS: The search identified 133 records, after which 18 articles were included in the scoping review. All the publications were journal articles and discussed various ways that specialists in thyroid diagnostics and surgery have utilized artificial intelligence in their practice. CONCLUSIONS: The development and incorporation of Artificial Intelligence applications in thyroid diagnostics and surgery has been moderate yet promising. However, applications are currently inconsistent and further research is needed to delineate the true benefit and limitations in this field.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
