A Novel Deep-Learning-Based CADx Architecture for Classification of Thyroid Nodules Using Ultrasound Images

In this study, a novel multi-layer computer-aided diagnosis system was proposed for thyroid cancer detection. In the first layer of the system, a novel feature extraction method based on the class similarity of images was developed. In the second layer, a novel pre-weighting layer was proposed by modifying the genetic algorithm. The proposed system showed superior performance in different metrics compared to the literature.Graphical Abstract
