This review examines the use of artificial intelligence and radiomics for diagnosing thyroid cancer, summarizing 42 studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of ultrasound-based radiomics in identifying malignancies. It highlights challenges such as interpretability, limited datasets, and operator dependence, and calls for standardization, prospective multicenter trials, and advances in explainable AI and personalized medicine. The authors emphasize that multidisciplinary collaboration and further algorithm refinement could enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

TAM-Chain is a multi‑scale thyroid cytology classification framework that uses Absorbing Markov Chains and Shannon Entropy to quantify uncertainty and dynamically decide when to stop processing and refer to a specialist. It processes images at 10×, 20×, and 40× magnifications, achieving a Macro F1 score of 0.9741 on an internal test set with a 0 % false‑negative rate, and maintains a Macro F1 of 0.7026 on an external validation set with severe domain shift. The method outperforms single‑magnification baselines by adaptively adjusting stopping steps and triggering specialist referrals, thereby reducing critical diagnostic errors.
