Partially cystic thyroid nodules (PCTNs) are common on ultrasound (US). However, there are insufficient data on the prevalence of thyroid carcinoma among such nodules. The purpose of this study was thus to evaluate the prevalence and differentiation of partially cystic thyroid cancers in US-guided...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic efficiency of a thyroid ultrasound computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system with that of 1 radiologist. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed 342 surgically resected thyroid nodules from July 2013 to December 2013 at our center...
The accuracy and consistency of segmentation remain a challenge due to the low contrast, speckle noise, and low resolution of ultrasound images. Therefore, the study of deep learning-based algorithms for thyroid nodule segmentation is important. This study utilizes soft shape supervision to improve ...
Thyroid nodule segmentation and classification in ultrasound images are two essential but challenging tasks for computer-aided diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Since these two tasks are inherently related to each other and sharing some common features, solving them jointly with multi-task leaning is a pro...
If a thyroid nodule is larger than 1 cm, or it has other worrisome characteristics seen on ultrasound or other imaging tests, then FNAB may be performed. This office procedure does not require anesthesia and consists of passing small needles (similar to those used to draw blood from the arm...
When a nodule causes the thyroid to make too much hormone, this is sometimes called a "hot nodule." It may cause: Weight loss Muscle weakness Heat intolerance Anxiousness Irritability Irregular heartbeat Weak bones Hypothyroidism symptoms Sometimes, people with thyroid nodules make too little thyroid...
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy done with the guidance of an ultrasound can determine whether your thyroid nodules are benign or cancerous. If you have a benign thyroid nodule observation is usually the best course of action. Yearly ultrasound exams and fine-needle aspirations if there is a change...
This nodule was evaluated as ACR TI-RADS 5 based on the findings (Fig. 1). Similarly, the Smart Thyroid AI of Resona i9 ultrasound system program was used to measure and analysy malignant signs and yielded comparable findings, except for the extrathyroidal extension which was assessed as ...
