Correction on: Guo D, Lin Z, Wang J, Liao X, Huang H, Zhai Y and Chen Z (2025) Optimizing C-TIRADS for sub-centimeter thyroid nodules using machine learning-derived feature importance. Front. Endocrinol. 16:1668347. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2025.1668347. The figures 4 and 5 were in the wrong order in the PDF and HTML versions of this paper. Figures 4 and5 were mistakenly swapped during production. Figure 4 should display the risk stratification heatmap. Figure 5 should display the Decision Curve Analysis. The order has now been corrected. The original version of this article has been updated.

Keywords: sub-centimeter thyroid nodules, C-TIRADS, machine learning, Shap, ultrasound, risk stratification, Microcarcinoma
