Automatic Recognition and Classification System of Thyroid Nodules in CT Images Based on CNN

Figure 1

The algorithm flowchart of system. The details are as follows. (1) CT image preprocessing: data preprocessing and data enhancement. (2) Image semantic segmentation: automatic recognition and segmentation of thyroid nodules. (3) Image processing algorithm: realizing the smooth connection from the segmentation network to the classification network. (4) Classification network: achieving accurate classification of benign and malignant nodules. (5) Visualization of results: the results are mapped to the original image to facilitate observation and comparison.
