Ultrasonography with fine-needle aspiration biopsy is commonly used to detect thyroid cancer. However, thyroid ultrasonography is prone to subjective interpretations and interobserver variabilities. The objective of this study was to develop a thyroi...
The accurate localization of nodules in ultrasound images can convey crucial information to support a reliable diagnosis. However, this is usually challenging due to low contrast and image artifacts, especially in thyroid ultrasound images where nodu...
This study evaluates the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in risk stratifying the malignant potential of thyroid nodules alongside traditional methods such as American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System ...

BACKGROUND: Calcification is an important criterion for classification between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Deep learning provides an important means for automatic calcification recognition, but it is tedious to annotate pixel-level labels f...
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are a common clinical entity with high incidence. Ultrasound is often employed to detect and evaluate thyroid nodules. The development of an efficient automated method to detect thyroid nodules using ultrasound has the pot...
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound imaging is well known to play an important role in the detection of thyroid disease, but the management of thyroid ultrasound remains inconsistent. Both standardized diagnostic criteria and new ultrasound technologies are essent...
With many thyroid nodules being incidentally detected, it is important to identify as many malignant nodules as possible while excluding those that are highly likely to be benign from fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies or surgeries. This paper pre...

Thyroid nodules diseases are a common health problem and thyroidal cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent. They appear in the neck and bottom neck region, superficially over the trachea. Cancer tissues are characterized by higher temperatures than...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term voice function after robotic thyroidectomy in comparison with conventional transcervical thyroidectomy.
