A novel approach to quantify calcifications of thyroid nodules in US images based on deep learning: predicting the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer patients.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: Based on ultrasound (US) images, this study aimed to detect and quantify calcifications of thyroid nodules, which are regarded as one of the most important features in US diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and to further investigate the value of...

Elevated Plasma Levels of MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP; A New Observation in Patients with Thyroid Nodules.

Archives of Iranian medicine
BACKGROUND: Based on the critical role of MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP in carcinogenesis, we focused on MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP circulating levels in patients with thyroid nodules.

Deep learning for classification of thyroid nodules on ultrasound: validation on an independent dataset.

Clinical imaging
OBJECTIVES: The purpose is to apply a previously validated deep learning algorithm to a new thyroid nodule ultrasound image dataset and compare its performances with radiologists.

Segmentation of thyroid glands and nodules in ultrasound images using the improved U-Net architecture.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Identifying thyroid nodules' boundaries is crucial for making an accurate clinical assessment. However, manual segmentation is time-consuming. This paper utilized U-Net and its improved methods to automatically segment thyroid nodules and...

A Novel Deep-Learning-Based CADx Architecture for Classification of Thyroid Nodules Using Ultrasound Images.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Nodules of thyroid cancer occur in the cells of the thyroid as benign or malign types. Thyroid sonographic images are mostly used for diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The aim of this study is to introduce a computer-aided diagnosis system that can classi...

Investigation of optimal convolutional neural network conditions for thyroid ultrasound image analysis.

Scientific reports
Neural network models have been used to analyze thyroid ultrasound (US) images and stratify malignancy risk of the thyroid nodules. We investigated the optimal neural network condition for thyroid US image analysis. We compared scratch and transfer l...

FDE-net: Frequency-domain enhancement network using dynamic-scale dilated convolution for thyroid nodule segmentation.

Computers in biology and medicine
Thyroid nodules, a common disease of endocrine system, have a probability of nearly 10% to turn into malignant nodules and thus pose a serious threat to health. Automatic segmentation of thyroid nodules is of great importance for clinicopathological ...

Application of deep learning as an ancillary diagnostic tool for thyroid FNA cytology.

Cancer cytopathology
BACKGROUND: Several studies have used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze cytology images, but AI has yet to be adopted in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the accuracy of AI-based image analysis for thyroid fine-...

Thyroid Nodules on Ultrasound in Children and Young Adults: Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of Radiologists' Impressions, ACR TI-RADS, and a Deep Learning Algorithm.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
In current clinical practice, thyroid nodules in children are generally evaluated on the basis of radiologists' overall impressions of ultrasound images. The purpose of this article is to compare the diagnostic performance of radiologists' overall ...
