Radiomics analysis was used to extract and quantify the image features. Segmentations were performed on three regions: the hypoechoic region with a 3-mm margin (0\u2009+\u20093-mm margin), the hypoechoic region alone (0-mm margin), and the 3-mm region surrounding the hypoechoic area (3-mm margin). Support vector machine (SVM) and neural network (NNT) were used as the machine learning models, and sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) from the receiver operating characteristic curves were determined for diagnostic performances.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The AUC values in the test group were 0.893, 0.929, and 0.679 for the SVM models with 0\u2009+\u20093-, 0-, and 3-mm margins, respectively.
