Goiter

Goiter refers to an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland that may appear as a diffuse goiter (uniform enlargement) or nodular (single or multiple nodules). Functionally, it is classified as nontoxic (normal/low hormone levels) or toxic (excess hormone production).PathophysiologyDiffuse thyroid enlargement typically results from prolonged stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or TSH-like agents, commonly seen in hypothyroidism or iodine deficiency. In contrast, in hyperthyroid...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Thyroid nodule ultrasonography is crucial for routine screening.
  • Accurate classification of thyroid nodules (benign vs. malignant) remains a clinical challenge.
  • Existing AI models require improvement for reliable diagnostic assistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new diagnostic model for thyroid nodule ultrasonography.
  • To improve the accuracy and consistency of thyroid nodule classification using AI.
  • To integrate domain knowledge into an AI framework for enhanced medical diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a Multi-scale segmentation network incorporating an Attention Gate and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP).
  • Developed a three-branch classification network utilizing nodule image, regional image, and edge image features.
  • Employed Coordinate attention (CA) mechanism and cross-level feature fusion for improved classification accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The Multi-scale segmentation network achieved high performance: 94.27% mPA, 93.90% Dice, and 88.85% MIoU.
  • The classification network reached 86.07% accuracy, 81.34% specificity, and 90.19% sensitivity.
  • The proposed method outperformed several classical and recent AI models in comparative tests.

Conclusions:

  • The 'segmentation + classification' model offers a promising auxiliary diagnostic tool for thyroid nodules.
  • The model provides objective quantitative indicators, reducing subjective judgment bias in diagnosis.
  • This AI approach enhances diagnostic consistency and accuracy, aiding physicians in assessing nodule nature.
