The correlations between ultrasound (US) and clinicopathological features in young patients with radiation-induced thyroid cancer, however, have not been well studied. Because of the importance of US for deciding which subjects should have fine-needle aspiration biopsy, we assessed the US features of...
nodule(s) in the same lobe T4 Tumor of any size that invades any of the following: mediastinum, heart, great vessels, trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve, esophagus, vertebral body, carina, separate tumor nodule(s) in a different ipsilateral lobe N Regional Lymph Nodes NX Regional lymph nodes...
Therefore, it is very surprising that there has been no evidence that proves that thyroid nodules 1.5 cm or larger have poorer clinical outcomes compared to nodule smaller than 1.5 cm when focusing on nodules 1 cm or larger but smaller than 2 cm. So far, a worldwide consensus on...
A false-negative PET scan can be caused by a small nodule, low cellular density (nonsolid nodule or ground glass opacity [GGO]), or low tumor avidity for FDG (eg, adenocarcinoma in situ [previously known as bronchoalveolar carcinoma], carcinoid tumor). ePatients with a suspicion of lung ...
lymphoma6and breast cancer7. Although the detection of malignant thyroid and salivary gland tumors using DL has already been reported for histopathological samples8, there have been no reports on DL for the discrimination of parotid gland tumors using MRI images, except for reports on texture ...
T3 Tumour more than 5 cm but not more than 7 cm in greatest dimension or one that directly invades any of the following: parietal pleura, chest wall (including superior sulcus tumours) phrenic nerve, parietal pericardium; or separate tumour nodule(s) in the same lobe as the primary T4 Tumo...
A multi-view ensemble learning based on voting mechanism is proposed herein to boost the performance of the models trained by small-dataset thyroid nodule ultrasound images. The method integrates three kinds of diagnosis results which are obtained from 3-view dataset which is composed of thyroid ...
The phantom studies were conducted using a homogeneous tissue-mimicking phantom to study the impact of motion on the covariance of the spatiotemporal Doppler data, in the absence of blood activity. The non-invasive in vivo study was conducted on a 74-y-old woman with a thyroid nodule ...
We corroborated this hypothesis by conducting in vivo experiments on 10 female patients in the age group 44-82 yrs, with at least one thyroid nodule suspicious of malignancy, with recommendation for fine needle aspiration biopsy. Ultrasound images were acquired using a clinical ultrasound scanner, ...
