BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules, increasingly prevalent globally, pose a risk of malignant transformation. Early screening is crucial for management, yet current models focus mainly on ultrasound features. This study explores machine learning for screeni...
BACKGROUND: Accurately distinguishing between malignant and benign thyroid nodules through fine-needle aspiration cytopathology is crucial for appropriate therapeutic intervention. However, cytopathologic diagnosis is time consuming and hindered by t...
In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has rapidly increased. To address the issue of the inefficient diagnosis of thyroid cancer during surgery, we propose a rapid method for the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules based on h...

Thyroid nodules are commonly diagnosed with ultrasonography, which includes internal characteristics, varying looks, and hazy boundaries, making it challenging for a clinician to differentiate between malignant and benign forms based only on visual i...
The current thyroid ultrasound relies heavily on the experience and skills of the sonographer and the expertise of the radiologist, and the process is physically and cognitively exhausting. In this paper, we report a fully autonomous robotic ultrasou...
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound is instrumental in the early detection of thyroid nodules, which is crucial for appropriate management and favorable outcomes. However, there is a lack of clinical guidelines for the judicious use of thyroid ultrasonography i...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The thyroid gland, a key component of the endocrine system, is pivotal in regulating bodily functions. Thermography, a non-invasive imaging technique utilizing infrared cameras, has emerged as a diagnostic tool for thyroid-r...
Deep learning techniques have been investigated for the computer-aided diagnosis of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images. However, most existing thyroid nodule detection methods were simply based on static ultrasound images, which cannot well explore...
Thyroid nodules are a common occurrence, and although most are non-cancerous, some can be malignant. The American College of Radiology has developed the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) to standardize the interpretation and reporti...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning algorithms have commonly been used for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. The aim of the study described here was to develop an integrated system that combines a deep learning model and a...
