This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation focusing on feature extraction techniques appliedto ultrasound (US) thyroid images, utilizing the MATLAB programming environment. The primary objective of this study is to elevatethe accuracy and effectiveness of thyroid cancer detection, ultimately ...
Ultrasound imagesThe incidence of thyroid nodule is very high and generally increases with the age. Thyroid nodule may presage the emergence of thyroid cancer. Most thyroid nodules are asymptomatic which makes thyroid cancer different from other cancers. The thyroid nodule can be completely cured if ...
What New Research Reveals About ChatGPT and Ultrasound Detection of Thyroid Nodules Jeff Hall March 14th 2024 Article In a comparison of image-to-text large language models (LLMs), ChatGPT 4.0 offered a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 83 percent AUC that were comparable to that of two se...
Thyroid-related diseases, particularly thyroid cancer, are rising globally, emphasizing the critical need for the early detection and accurate screening of thyroid nodules. Ultrasound imaging has inherent limitations—high noise, low contrast, and blurred boundaries—that make manual interpretation subjective...
As an alternative, image-based thyroid nodule diagnosis has been used in various applications. This method uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound wave) to produce images of the thyroid region. As a result, this method provides rich information of thyroid nodules such as the shape and ...
Ultrasound is a diagnostic tool that's used in a variety of ways — not just during pregnancy. It's a test that uses sound waves to create images of your body's soft tissue and organs including kidneys, breasts, the thyroid, and abdominal organs. (Photo Credit: E+/Getty Images) ...
Thyroid nodules are small lumps that form within the thyroid gland and are quite common in the general population, with a prevalence as high as 67%. The great majority of thyroid nodules are not cancerous and cause no symptoms. However, there are current
Conventional ultrasound continues to be the cornerstone in thyroid nodule evaluation, however, the advent of artificial intelligence as well as non-invasive imaging techniques such as CEUS and elastography have shown reliable performance in detecting or excluding thyroid cancer. In our case, they showed...
Ultrasound imaging of thyroid gland provides the ability to acquire valuable information for medical diagnosis. This study presents a novel scheme for the analysis of longitudinal ultrasound images aiming at efficient and effective computer-aided detection of thyroid nodules. The proposed scheme involves ...
Can ultrasound detect uterine cancer? Ultrasound: An ultrasound is an imaging test performed on a patient to look at soft tissue structures in the body. It is considered one of the safest techniques because it uses sound waves instead of radiation to create images of bodily tissues. ...
