Core Tip	Thyroid nodules are highly prevalent. Distinguishing malignant and benign thyroid nodules is critical for clinical management. Understanding the cytology, molecular biology, and imaging results of non-operated nodules, and finally building a molecular-imaging linkage model is of great importance. Among these, the molecular characteristics of thyroid nodules are critical for diagnosis and treatment. However, identifying these characteristics is costly and challenging because of unexpected technical difficulties. Bridging the essential link between molecular characteristics and the computed tomography radiomics model with existing and ongoing knowledge might resolve these challenges.
