Benign TNs are grouped according to cytological features into adenomatous nodules (nodular goiter), colloid nodules, and cystic nodules.6 US is the first-line imaging modality used to identify and characterize TNs.
Since the clinical application of ultrasound elasticity, it was used for distinguishing malignant and
benign lesions at many sites.
Results: Out of 420 ovarian tumour cases, 250 (59.5%) were

Researchers from leading institutions presented posters showing that use of the Afirma GSC at their respective centers significantly increased the identification of
benign thyroid nodules among those deemed indeterminate - not clearly
benign or malignant - following cytopathology review, compared to the original Afirma test.
The morphology indexing is an inexpensive and accurate method in differentiating
benign ovarian tumours and malignant ovarian tumours can be used as an effective tool to plan the management of ovarian tumours.
Scientists in Germany, France and the US have trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify skin cancer by showing it more than 100,000 images of malignant melanomas and
benign moles.
In each study, researchers found that the Afirma GSC identified significantly more
benign thyroid nodules among those deemed indeterminate not clearly
benign or malignant by cytopathology review, compared to the GEC.

On histopathology 77.9% (n=233) lesions turned to be malignant and 22.1% (n=66) were
benign. On DWI 73% (n=219) lesions showed restricted diffusion and were labeled malignant while 27% (n=80) lesions showed facilitated diffusion and were considered
benign.
Other masses in this age group include endometriomas, polycystic ovaries, tubo-ovarian abscesses, and
