Thyroid is one of the endocrine Gland. Thyroid can be classified into normal, nodule and cancers thyroid. The characterization of the thyroid tissue in digital image processing techniques offer’s the texture description and using the ultrasound images. In this paper describe the various type of feature extraction techniques characterization and classification method. The texture characterizatio...

In a 59-year-old patient, thyroid follicular cancer was diagnosed in two right-sided toxic thyroid nodules, which had presented clinically as unilateral thyroid autonomy. In addition, the patient had histologically proven lung metastases of thyroid cancer; however, these failed to exhibit iodine uptake and were resistant to radioiodine treatment. The functional activity of the thyroid nodules p...

Intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma is extremely rare clinical entity with potentially multiple diagnostic pitfalls. We report a case of 40-year-old man presented with classical manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism, severe hypercalcemia and profoundly increased serum parathyroid hormone level. Neck ultrasonography demonstrated multinodular goiter with predominant 34 mm nodule in left ...

Metastatic neoplasms of the thyroid are uncommon when compared to primary tumors of the gland. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a highly aggressive tumor of the urinary system. It can spread all over the body. Isolated solitary metastases of RCC to the thyroid are very rarely observed. A 64-year-old woman with a history of left radical nephrectomy for RCC, was referred to our clinic with palpable ...

The Zenker’s diverticulum is the most common of esophagus. It commonly occurs at pharyngoesophageal junction that can appear in proximity to thyroid gland. food remnants or gas bubbles present may mimic microcalcifications presented papillary carcinoma on ultrasonography. Therefore, it important be able differentiate between and malignant nodule. author reported a case mimicking nodule

OBJECTIVE Thyroid nodule measurement using ultrasonography (US) is widely performed in various clinical scenarios. The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-observer variation in US measurement of the volume and maximum diameter of thyroid nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 73 consecutive patients with 85 well-defined thyroid nodules greater than 1 cm in th...

INTRODUCTION Thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine condition treated by surgeons. The main purpose of the evaluation of a thyroid nodule is to rule out a carcinoma. Medical decisions concerning thyroid nodules are highly influenced by subjective beliefs. OBJECTIVE To assess the subjective probabilities of malignancy that are assigned to the clinical characteristics of a patient with a...

BACKGROUND Rapid growth of thyroid nodules is described as being associated with thyroid cancer. The objective of the study was to determine how the growth rate of thyroid nodules during follow-up is associated with the risk of thyroid cancer. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing thyroid surgery for nodular disease and a repetitive preoperative ultrasound work-up of at least ...

Background: Suppressive therapy with levothyroxine for reducing the size of thyroid nodules has not been really accepted. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of levothyroxine on the size of benign thyroid nodules. Methods: Forty patients with confirmed benign nodule were randomly divided into two groups. Group I received 50?g/day levothyroxin for six months but group II did not t...
