Can Thyrotropin, Tri-Iodothyronine, and Thyroxine Hormones be Predictors of Cancer in Thyroid Lesions?

Background Thyroid nodules are a common medical problem worldwide. This study aims to investigate and elucidate the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3), and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a public specialist hospital in Saudi Arabia from February 2020 to February 2021.

Classification of trabecular bone texture from MRI and CT scan images by multi resolution analysis.

Although bone mineral density measurements constitute one of the main clinical indicators of osteoporosis, we know that bone fragility risk is also related to deteriorations of osseous architecture. Medical imaging constitutes one means to appreciate in vivo bone screen, what is particularly important in the follow up of the osteoporosis. This paper presents a method of bone textural MRI and CT scan classification, based on the use of multifractal analysis by the WTMM-2d method, we propose the choice of three features to realize these images classification: the Hölder exponents average at the peaks of Legendre spectrums, the wavelet transform skeletons density by pixel, and variance of directions of gradients.
