In this article, we are interested in thyroid cancer, a disease that is triggered off by the malignant transformation of some of the cells that make up the thyroid gland. For this purpose, our study focuses on the use of deep learning on ultrasound images for the recognition of malignant ...
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 ...
Early screening methods for the thyroid gland include palpation and imaging. Although palpation is relatively simple, its effectiveness in detecting early clinical signs of the thyroid gland may be limited, especially in children, due to the shorter thyr
Ultrasound three-dimensional visualization, a cutting-edge technology in medical imaging, enhances diagnostic accuracy by providing a more comprehensive and readable portrayal of anatomical structures compared to traditional two-dimensional ultrasound. C
Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) [4], we developed a method for automatically classifying lesions in ultrasound images of the thyroid and breast. With the same architecture and transfer learning in mind, we proposed a general DCNN structure parameter setting and evaluated this ...
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) ...
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 ...
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
Papillary adenomasare the least common type of thyroid tumor or adenoma. Malignant Thyroid Nodules There are several types of thyroid cancer. At times, thyroid cancer is metastatic cancer (secondary cancer) that has come from other organs in the body that are primary cancers. ...
FDA Grants Breakthrough Device Designation for Emerging High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer By Jeff Hall October 16th 2024 The Sonire Therapeutics ultrasound system is currently being studied for the treatment of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer refractory or intolerant...
