The Role of Computer-aided Detection and Diagnosis System in the Differential Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions in Ultrasonography
To avoid abuse of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and to save the time of a learning curve, a computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) system to detect suspicious lesions for FNAC from thyroid ultrasonography has been developed by the Department of Industrial Engineering, cooperative with...
