The application of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology "S-DetectTM" enables qualitative and quantitative automated analysis of ultrasound images to obtain objective, repeatable and more accurate diagnostic results. The Elastic Contrast Factor (ECI) technique, unlike conventional strain-elastic imaging techniques, can evaluate the elastic distribution in the region of interest. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the differential diagnosis value of ultrasound S-DetectTM technology for benign and malignant thyroid nodules and evaluate the consistency of ultrasound S-DetectTM technology and sonographer in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules and explore the differential diagnosis value of Samsung ultrasound ECI technology for benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
