RSV: Robotic Sonography for Thyroid Volumetry [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 7, no. 2, pp.
3342-3348, April 2022, 2021 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.

Tracked 3D Ultrasound and Deep Neural Network-based Thyroid Segmentation reduce Interobserver Variability in Thyroid Volumetry [PDF]
, 2021 Background: Thyroid volumetry is crucial in diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of thyroid diseases. However, conventional thyroid volumetry with 2D ultrasound is highly operator-dependent. This study compares 2D ultrasound and tracked 3D ultrasound with an automatic thyroid segmentation based on a deep neural network regarding inter- and intraobserver

Thyroid Disease and the Heart [PDF]
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2007 The cardiovascular signs and symptoms of thyroid disease are some of the most profound and clinically relevant findings that accompany both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. On the basis of the understanding of the cellular mechanisms of thyroid hormone action on the heart and cardiovascular system, it is possible to explain the changes in cardiac ...
