The global burden of cancer, severe diagnostic bottlenecks in underserved regions, and underfunded health care systems are fueling the need for inexpensive, rapid, and treatment-informative diagnostics. On the basis of advances in computational optic...
BACKGROUND: To distinguish follicular adenoma (FA) and follicular carcinoma (FC) of thyroid in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a challenging problem.
Background/aim: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by increased calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Surgical removal of the culprit hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is the preferred treatment. In this study, we aimed...
BACKGROUND: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is an accurate method for the diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. However, a significant number of cases still pose a diagnostic challenge. The authors have attempted to design a computer model to aid...

BACKGROUND: An initial clinical assessment is described of a new, commercially available, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system using artificial intelligence (AI) for thyroid ultrasound, and its performance is evaluated in the diagnosis of malignant ...
In ultrasound images, most thyroid nodules are in heterogeneous appearances with various internal components and also have vague boundaries, so it is difficult for physicians to discriminate malignant thyroid nodules from benign ones. In this study, ...
Atypia of Undetermined Significance (AUS), classified as Category III in the Bethesda Thyroid Cytopathology Reporting System, presents significant diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aims to develop a clinical decision support system tha...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of combining American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) with the Demetics ultrasound diagnostic system in reducing the rate of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies for thy...
In recent years, cytopathology practices increasingly are considering the adoption of digital modalities to support remote rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of fine-needle aspiration biopsies. Currently, various digital options are available, each of w...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate evaluation of thyroid nodules is crucial for effective management; however, methods such as ultrasonography and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) can be subjective and operator-dependent. Indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs) ...
