Abstract:
In nuclear medicine, radioiodine therapy is prescribed to treat diseases like hyperthyroidism. The calculation of the prescribed dose depends, amongst other factors, on the thyroid volume. This is currently estimated using conventional 2D ultrasound imaging. However, this modality is inherently user-dependant, resulting in high variability in volume estimations. To increase reproducibility and consistency, we uniquely combine a neural network-based segmentation with an automatic robotic ultrasou...     »
