Recognition of Thyroid Nodules Using Hierarchical Temporal Awareness Networking Scanning
Abstract: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), a preferred imaging technique for thyroid nodule diagnosis, is able to reveal the vascular distribution within a thyroid nodule right away. With the aim of mining pathologically-related enhancing dynamics and creating predictions in one step without taking into account a native diagnostic dependency, a number of learning-based algorithms have recently been created. In clinics, separating benign from malignant nodules is always done before identifying pathological types. In …
