Comparative MR image analysis for thyroid nodule detection and quantification.

Highlights: [•] RBAC and SSRG methods have been used for thyroid nodule detection. [•] Preprocessed MR images are segmented and cross sectional nodule areas are obtained. [•] Accuracies are given by ZSI and corr. by comparing them with manually obtained areas. [•] RBAC and SSRG method yielded average ZSI values of 0.938 and 0.906 respectively. [•] RBAC and SSRG method yielded ave. cross-corr. val. of 0.91 and 0.91 respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
