INTRODUCTION: Locoregional recurrence of thyroid carcinoma has a negative impact on patient prognosis. In the current study, we retrospectively reviewed cases of thyroid bed lesions in the last 3 years, correlating cytologic diagnoses with clinical f...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic efficiency of a thyroid ultrasound computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system with that of 1 radiologist.
BACKGROUND: To distinguish follicular adenoma (FA) and follicular carcinoma (FC) of thyroid in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a challenging problem.
We conducted differentiations between thyroid follicular adenoma and carcinoma for 8-bit bitmap ultrasonography (US) images utilizing a deep-learning approach. For the data sets, we gathered small-boxed selected images adjacent to the marginal outlin...
