An ultrasound is a test that takes images inside your body. The test uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures in real time of organs and soft tissue. Not just a tool during pregnancy, an ultrasound can be used to examine your kidneys, breasts, vascular system, thyroid gland, and...
prenatal diagnosis- any of the diagnostic procedures used to determine whether a fetus has a genetic abnormality tomography,imaging- (medicine) obtaining pictures of the interior of the body A-scan ultrasonography- the use of ultrasonography to measure the length of the eyeball ...
of a novel algorithm for the detection of the boundaries of the thyroid gland and b) detection of thyroid nodules via classification of Local Binary Pattern feature vectors extracted only from the area between the thyroid boundaries. Extensive experiments were performed on a set of B-mode thyroid...
EARLY detection of cancerThe early detection of thyroid cancers depends on the ability to segment thyroid nodules. Thyroid ultrasound imaging is critical for diagnosing thyroid nodules. It is very challenging to correctly segment and extract the thyroid nodule from ultrasound pictures. To solve...
Characteristics of thyroid ultrasound pictures in children with nodular thyroid changes effected by radionuclides 97 children with thyroid nodules found through screening programs in regions of White Russia (Belarus) affected by fallout from the Chernobyl disaster unde...

the application of ultrasound thyroid imaging mainly includes diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, prediction of thyroid cancer aggressiveness to the tissue, analysis of tumor phenotype or the presence of genetic mutations, and prognostic analysis of thyroid cancer patients (Table 1). This...
5. Bladder Cancer A pelvic ultrasound can often detect bladder cancer, even when they are being done for other reasons because the bladder needs to be full to create clear pictures of all the organs and structures in the pelvis, which in turn creates a clear picture of the bladder. Cysts ...
scanning has nearly been abandoned in the initial workup of a thyroid nodule. This test is performed by a nuclear medicine specialist. After a small, safe amount of radioisotope (123-iodine or Tc99) is taken by mouth or injected into a vein, the radiologist obtains pictures of the thyroid...
Radiomics reflects the texture and morphological features of tumours by quantitatively analysing the grey values of medical images. We aim to develop a nomogram incorporating radiomics and the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) for predicting breast cancer in BI-RADS ultrasound (US) ...
The thyroid is not a difficult gland to find, nor is it a technically difficult ultrasound to perform – although not a current use for bedside ultrasound, it may start to be given the ease to which nodules can be seen: (for pictures of normal thyroid and abnormal thyroid nodules, see ...
