Volume Estimation of Ultrasound Thyroid Gland Image
Abstract: Thyroid volume is very much important in the follow-up procedure after treatment of enlarged thyroid glands. Among the various types of available imaging techniques, an ultrasound imaging is one of the commonly used techniques, as it is a non-invasive technique, which does not require any ionizing radiation. The present study proposes a technique useful to calculate thyroid volume. After separating the thyroid gland region by the segmentation process, a particle …

Automated Thyroid Nodule Detection in Ultrasound Image using Optimal Neural Network Classifier
Abstract: Malignant thyroid nodule detection is an important issue in thyroid ultrasonography image processing. Literature reports many algorithms in this domain. This research aims to design optimal decision support system (DSS) for ultrasound thyroid nodule image characterization into benign and malignant classes. Thyroid nodule region is segmented to extract texture features from thyroid nodule ultrasound images acquired from 38 patients using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and statistical properties. These features …
