Area of Science:

Medical imaging
Ultrasound elastography
Thyroid diagnostics

Background:

Thyroid nodules require accurate differentiation between benign and malignant cases.
Color thyroid elastography offers a visual assessment but lacks objective quantification.
Previous methods for elastogram analysis have shown variable diagnostic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantitatively and objectively evaluate color thyroid elastograms for improved diagnostic accuracy.
To introduce and validate the 'hard area ratio' as a quantitative feature.
To determine the optimal hard threshold for classifying thyroid nodules.

Main Methods:

Collected 125 thyroid cases (56 malignant, 69 benign) using a HITACHI Vision 900 system.
Transferred RGB color space elastograms to HSV color space for analysis.
Defined 'hard area ratio' and employed a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, investigating hard threshold effects.

Main Results:

Classification accuracy reached a maximum of 95.2% with an optimal hard threshold (144-152).
This accuracy surpassed strain ratio (87.2%) and color score (83.2%) methods.
The achieved accuracy was also higher than the study's previous result (93.6%).

Conclusions:

The 'hard area ratio' is a significant feature for objective elastogram analysis.
Appropriate selection of the hard threshold is crucial for enhancing thyroid nodule classification accuracy.
This quantitative approach offers improved diagnostic performance in thyroid elastography.
