Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for automatically diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, carrying out noise reduction preprocessing on an original thyroid ultrasound image; 2, performing data enhancement on the preprocessed thyroid ultrasound image; 3, the thyroid ultrasound image after data enhancement being respectively put into three convolutional neural network models which are constructed through ResNet, DenseNet or ResNext in advance for training; and 4, carrying out model integration on images trained by different models in the step 3. According to the method, the problem that the automatic classification effect of benign and malignant thyroid nodules is poor is solved, the deep learning image automatic recognition technology is applied, the latest framework is used for extracting image features, the automatic classification task of benign and malignant thyroid nodules is completed in an end-to-end mode, and meanwhile high accuracy is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of deep learning of computer artificial intelligence, in particular to a method and device for automatically diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Background technique [0002] Thyroid nodules are very common in the general population. With the help of thyroid ultrasonography, data show that approximately 20% to 76% of adults have nodules in the thyroid. Although most thyroid nodules are benign nodules, the presence and number of nodules increase the probability of lesions. Therefore, in order to reduce the morbidity, it is particularly important to check the thyroid gland in advance and screen for benign and malignant thyroid nodules. With the development of the times, the classification techniques of thyroid nodules are constantly evolving and improving. In the early stage, due to the complex and diverse ultrasound images of thyroid nodules, the diagnostic modes of benign and malignant thyroid nodules ...
