NCT ID NCT07234539
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help medical students and doctors more accurately determine the stage and risk level of thyroid cancer. About 70 participants will review patient cases, some with AI help and some without. The goal is to see if the AI assistant improves accuracy, confidence, and speed.
