    The study developed ThyUS2Path, a dual attention-guided deep learning framework for assessing thyroid nodules via ultrasonography.

  • 2

    ThyUS2Path was trained on 6014 images from 603 patients and validated on 1978 external images, achieving AUCs of 0.754 and 0.735.

  • 3

    The framework significantly outperformed traditional multi-instance learning methods, demonstrating better predictive performance.

  • 4

    ThyUS2Path links ultrasound phenotypes directly to histological diagnoses, enhancing non-invasive thyroid cancer diagnostics.

  • 5

    The approach addresses challenges in manual feature extraction and inconsistent assessments in thyroid nodule evaluations.
