Intelligent imaging in nuclear medicine: age-dependent changes in thyroid uptake and area of thyroid tissue

Thyroid nodules are a common occurrence in the general population, and the incidental ones are often referred for ultrasound (US) evaluation. In order to save some bucks and form the trouble to visit an ultrasound facility, we are designing a digital model which can detect the abnormalities present in the Thyroid nodules by using machine learning over the imagery data of the patient. In this study, we are providing the algorithm which allows us to find the above features under Region of Interest (ROI) which is drawn by us. On the basis of the data collected, Artificial Intelligence applications may be developed for the medical image analysis including but not limited to abnormality detection, segmentation and computer-aided diagnosis
