    Indeterminate thyroid cytology presents significant challenges in risk stratification and can lead to unnecessary diagnostic surgeries.

  • 2

    Molecular analysis has improved preoperative risk stratification but still faces issues with positive predictive value and malignancy risk.

  • 3

    Artificial intelligence is expanding into thyroid diagnostics, enhancing whole-slide cytology analysis and computational pathology.

  • 4

    AI has the potential to reduce subjectivity in cytology analysis and optimize biopsy candidate selection and post-FNA evaluations.

  • 5

    The integration of AI in thyroid nodule management requires validation, standardization, and prospective studies to address current limitations.
