Thyroid Cancer AI:

Sensitivity in USG Detection

AI Solution for Accurate Diagnosis, Data Levarge, and Doctor Support in Medical Recognition problem

In the field of medical science, thyroid cancer poses a significant challenge that requires innovation and precision for effective diagnosis with high sensitivity. Our AI-driven company has dedicated efforts to enhance thyroid cancer detection using artificial intelligence (AI). Our groundbreaking solutions address precise and sensitive diagnosis, providing support for physicians.

Types of Thyroid Cancers

    Various types of thyroid cancer can be identified using ultrasound (USG), including those that were part of our training data
  • Papillary Thyroid Cancer Common, often in ages 30-50, manageable.
  • Follicular Thyroid Cancer Uncommon, mostly over 50, limited neck spread.
  • Hurthle Cell Thyroid Cancer Aggressive variant, neck involvement possible.
  • Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Highly aggressive, distinctive features.
  • Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Rapid growth, distinct appearance.
  • Medullary Thyroid Cancer Linked to calcitonin hormone, C cells.
  • Other Rare Types ex. Thyroid lymphoma, thyroid sarcoma (very rare).

    Identifying and defining cancer classes for AI training was key in successful prediction and implementation.

    Data Anonymizer

    A key element in data collection involved applying a separate AI mechanism to recognize patient-sensitive information and conceal it. By delivering an independent application to doctors, we obtained clean data without compromising doctor-patient confidentiality. See data anonymizer for further information:

    Pixel Insights for Detection

    aimedica.app excels in recognizing and deciphering data across various formats, ensuring seamless information extraction without the involvement of healthcare professionals. This has been obtained by identifying areas of the syringe to collect living tissue. By defining the in-house method we have successfully marked all areas for object detection AI training.

    Extra Verification for Quality and Precision

    Our approach isn't just about accurate predictions - it's about understanding the risks associated with them. One of our verification methods involved evaluating the quality of USG images and extracting additional information from the objects. Through an additional AI method, we validated the informative value of each observation. For example, by identifying the thyroid's location, we ensured that an image qualifies for AI training and prediction.

    Below is an example of inference for predicting the thyroid's location in the image object:

    AI Training Performance

    Our AI learning reached remarkable levels of accuracy, surpassing conventional diagnostic methods. These results have a higher shift in traditional thyroid cancer detection in terms of sensitivity and speed.

      Tested with 1,500 observations, the AI model's performance has been put to the test and validated:
  • Accuracy: 92% The AI model's accuracy rate of 92% is a significant achievement that holds immense potential for revolutionizing medical diagnostics. This figure signifies the proportion of correct predictions made by the model out of the total observations validated.
  • Precision: 81% Precision stands as a critical metric in medical diagnostics, reflecting the model's ability to accurately identify positive cases among the predicted positives. A precision rate of 81% indicates that the majority of the cases identified as positive by the model were indeed accurate, minimizing the chances of false positives.
  • Recall: 85% Recall, often referred to as sensitivity or true positive rate, signifies the model's ability to identify positive cases out of the total actual positives. An 85% recall rate exemplifies the model's adeptness in capturing a significant proportion of true positive cases, minimizing the chances of false negatives.
  • AI Applications in Thyroid Cancer AI

    aimedica.app aims to redefine thyroid cancer detection. The implementation of AI's double verification ensures meticulous case scrutiny, minimizing oversight risks. New and overwhelmed doctors find AI indispensable in their daily work, contributing to improved patient care.
