Title:
MEDO.ai Thyroid - Automatic Assessment of Thyroid Ultrasound
Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:
$370,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 1, 2019 - May 31, 2021
Description:
Thyroid nodules are common in adults, only 7% have palpable nodules but the prevalence increases to 30% on ultrasound examination. American Thyroid Association recommends ultrasound as the first line of assessment for the stratification of risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is recommended for suspicious nodules, but these are costly and often inconclusive. An accurate image-based assessment would save time and reduce medical expense. However manual assessment of ultrasound is subjective, tedious and inconsistent especially when multiple nodules are present. This project proposes a cloud-based tool for automatic analysis and risk stratification in thyroid ultrasound which can be accessed at point-of-care.
