An Approach for Thyroid Nodule Analysis Using Thermographic Images 文章

arXiv:2605.29221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thyroid cancer is said to be the second most common type of cancer in female individuals and the third in males by 2030, according to projections. In general, detecting cancer in its early stages improves the chance of survival of the individual. Thermography is a diagnostic tool that has been increasingly used to detect cancer and abnormalities, including that of thyroid. Various methods to segment and detect hot regions in thermograms and, consequently, to detect suspicious tissues present in these images have been proposed. It is well known that medical diagnosis yields a great deal of information. Thus, physicians have to comprehensively analyse and evaluate this information in a short period of time, which is infeasible in most cases. In this work, we perform a general review of thermography , focusing on the thyroid analysis. We propose protocols for image acquisiton and an autonomous registration for thyroid images.
