This is an experimental study wherein groups of medical students and physicians of varying degrees of experience in head-and-neck ultrasound were asked to scan the same five patients each with a thyroid nodule. The study participants did their own ultrasound assessment of the thyroid nodules, as well as using an AI-based ultrasound diagnostics system. The researchers intended to study two primary outcomes: 1) how varying degrees of experience in ultrasound by the operator might affect the diagnostic performance of the AI-based system, and 2) how the AI-based system influenced the diagnostic performance of the ultrasound operator.
