Latest AI and machine learning research in thyroid for healthcare professionals.
Unlike daily routine images, ultrasound images are usually monochrome and low-resolution. In ultrasound images, the cancer regions are usually blurred, vague margin and irregular in shape. Moreover, the features of cancer region are very similar to normal or benign tissues. Therefore, training ultrasound images with original Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) directly is not satisfactory. In our s...
Due to the importance of nuclear structure in cancer diagnosis, several predictive models have been described for diagnosing a wide variety of cancers based on nuclear morphology. In many computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, cancer detection tasks can be generally formulated as set classification problems, which can not be directly solved by classifying single instances. In this paper, we propo...
Ultrasound imaging is one of the most common visualizing tools used by radiologists to identify the location of thyroid nodules. However, visual asses...
One of the major challenges in methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) for drug dependence is the physiological side effects on endocrine hormones. Becaus...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic efficiency of a thyroid ultrasound computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system with that...
Hypothyroidism is caused by inadequate production and storage of thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is associated with delayed wound healing. Laser the...
PURPOSE: Growth hormone (GH) therapy in adults alters thyroid function, and acromegaly often involves thyroid disease. The present study aimed to eluc...
BACKGROUND: Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level with a normal thyroxin level without signs or sympt...
BACKGROUND: To distinguish follicular adenoma (FA) and follicular carcinoma (FC) of thyroid in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a challenging...
Hybrid nanocomposite particles composed of a gold core coated with a europium(iii)-chelate fluorophore-doped silica shell (AuNPs@SiO-Eu) have been syn...
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) involves a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, including abnormal lipids, insulin resistance and hypertension...
Ovarian cancer is a highly metastatic disease. The metastatic potential is enhanced by epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in which αvβ3 integr...
We conducted differentiations between thyroid follicular adenoma and carcinoma for 8-bit bitmap ultrasonography (US) images utilizing a deep-learning ...
BACKGROUND: Thyroid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging tool and provides good evaluation of thyroid anatomy, location, vascularisation, and echogeni...
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that overt hyper- as well as hypothyroidism are potential causes of heart failure (HF). Additionally it has been r...
Disease gene prediction is a challenging task that has a variety of applications such as early diagnosis and drug development. The existing machine le...
CONTEXT: The effects of maternal inorganic iodine therapy on infant thyroid function are not well known.
Functional thyroid carcinoma is an unusual cause of thyrotoxicosis. We describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a patient with thyrotoxicos...
PURPOSE: Delineation of thyroid nodule boundaries from ultrasound images plays an important role in calculation of clinical indices and diagnosis of t...
The relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and vitamin D has been demonstrated in several studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate ...
