What Thyroid Conditions Are Common In Children? Children can develop many of the same thyroid conditions as adults, though they're less likely to. Learn about three of the most common conditions in this article.

"Children, like adults, can also develop thyroid diseases and conditions. Some may be born with a condition, while others may develop one later in their childhood."

A lump in the neck shouldn’t be ignored.
Thyroid nodules are treatable with early diagnosis and expert care.

Most thyroid nodules are benign and don’t require surgery. Ultrasound scans, blood tests, and regular monitoring help manage thyroid nodules safely. Always seek expert medical advice.

A Multimodal Large Language Model as an End-to-End Classifier of Thyroid Nodule Malignancy Risk: #usability Study Background: Thyroid nodules are common, with ultrasound (US) imaging as the primary modality for their assessment. Risk stratification systems like the ACR Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) have been developed but suffer from inter-observer variability and low specificity. artificial intelligence (#AI) (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs) with multimodal capabilities, present opportunities for efficient end-to-end diagnostic processes. However, their clinical utility remains uncertain. Objective: This study evaluates the accuracy and consistency of multimodal LLMs for thyroid nodule risk stratification using the ACR TI-RADS system, examining the effects of model fine-tuning, image annotation, prompt engineering, and comparing open-source versus commercial models. Methods: Three multimodal vision-language models were evaluated: Microsoft's open-source LLaVA model, its medically fine-tuned variant LLaVA-Med, and OpenAI’s commercial o3 model. A total of 192 thyroid nodules from publicly available US image datasets were assessed. Each model was evaluated using two prompts (basic and modified) and two image scenarios (unlabelled vs. radiologist-annotated), yielding 6,912 responses. Model outputs were compared to expert ratings for accuracy and consistency. Statistical comparisons included Chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Fleiss’ kappa for inter-rater reliability. Results: Overall, 88.4% of responses were valid, with the o3 model producing the highest validity rate (98.6%), followed by LLaVA (91.5%) and LLaVA-Med (75.0%; p

A new clinical trial investigating whether radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective option for patients with benign thyroid nodules is now recruiting patients in 3 UK hospitals

Larger Benign Thyroid Nodules Exhibit Greater Volume Reduction With RFA Larger benign thyroid nodules were associated with a greater volume reduction among patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation.

#RadiofrequencyAblation led to larger volume reduction among patients with larger vs smaller benign #ThyroidNodules, especially for women and Hispanic patients.

Side of young woman's face is shown. She is holing a glass of water in one hand and tablet in the other hand. She appears to be about to take the tablet. The headline reads 'What are antithyroid drugs and how do they work?'

Antithyroid drugs are often used in the treatment of an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
But when and how are they used?
How do they work?
And what side effects can they have?

Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation This comprehensive book is the definitive guide to thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Thyroid nodules are prevalent many patients seek intervention.

Dr. Park reached out to me during the pandemic to write the first chapter of this book 📖 - a comprehensive guide on #RFA for #ThyroidNodules & #ThyroidCancer 🦋

🌟Excited to see this amazing international collaboration finally published!! 📚
