Ultrasound is a useful technique for diagnosing thyroid nodules. Benign and malignant nodules that automatically discriminate in the ultrasound pictures can provide diagnostic recommendations or, improve diagnostic accuracy in the absence…
Ultrasound-based risk stratification of thyroid nodules is a critical clinical task, but it suffers from high inter-observer variability. While many deep learning (DL) models function as "black boxes," we propose a fully automated,…
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is becoming a prominent approach to assist clinicians spanning across multiple fields. These automated systems take advantage of various computer vision (CV) procedures, as well as artificial intelligence (AI)…
Thyroid nodule classification and segmentation in ultrasound images are crucial for computer-aided diagnosis; however, they face limitations owing to insufficient labeled data. In this study, we proposed a multi-view contrastive…
Ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging technique for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. However, accurate identification of nodule malignancy is a challenging task that can elude less-experienced clinicians. Recently, many computer-aided…
Segmentation of nodules in thyroid ultrasound imaging plays a crucial role in the detection and treatment of thyroid cancer. However, owing to the diversity of scanner vendors and imaging protocols in different hospitals, the automatic…
Thyroid nodule classification using ultrasound imaging is essential for early diagnosis and clinical decision-making; however, despite promising performance on in-distribution data, existing deep learning methods often exhibit limited…
Accurate thyroid nodule segmentation in ultrasound images is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. However, ambiguous boundaries between nodules and surrounding tissues, size variations, and the scarcity of annotated ultrasound…
Thyroid cancer is a common endocrine carcinoma that occurs in the thyroid gland. Much effort has been invested in improving its diagnosis, and thyroidectomy remains the primary treatment method. A successful operation without unnecessary…
Accurate detection of ultrasound nodules is essential for the early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid and breast cancers. However, this task remains challenging due to irregular nodule shapes, indistinct boundaries, substantial scale…
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. Methods: Prior study presented an algorithm which is able to…
Over the past decades, the incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing globally. Accurate and early diagnosis allows timely treatment and helps to avoid over-diagnosis. Clinically, a nodule is commonly evaluated from both transverse and…
The incidence of thyroid nodule is very high and generally increases with the age. Thyroid nodule may presage the emergence of thyroid cancer. The thyroid nodule can be completely cured if detected early. Fine needle aspiration cytology is…
Thyroid nodule segmentation in ultrasound images is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. However, existing methods face challenges in segmentation accuracy, interpretability, and generalization, which hinder their…
Weakly supervised segmentation methods can delineate thyroid nodules in ultrasound images efficiently using training data with coarse labels, but suffer from: 1) low-confidence pseudo-labels that follow topological priors, introducing…
Thyroid disorders are most commonly diagnosed using high-resolution Ultrasound (US). Longitudinal nodule tracking is a pivotal diagnostic protocol for monitoring changes in pathological thyroid morphology. This task, however, imposes a…
Thyroid nodule segmentation is a crucial step in the diagnostic procedure of physicians and computer-aided diagnosis systems. Mostly, current studies treat segmentation and diagnosis as independent tasks without considering the correlation…
Thyroid cancer is common worldwide, with a rapid increase in prevalence across North America in recent years. While most patients present with palpable nodules through physical examination, a large number of small and medium-sized nodules…
Ultrasound is a vital diagnostic technique in health screening, with the advantages of non-invasive, cost-effective, and radiation free, and therefore is widely applied in the diagnosis of nodules. However, it relies heavily on the…
Background: Thyroid ultrasound is commonly performed using a combination of static images and cine clips (video recordings). However, the exact utility and impact of cine images remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of…
