Abstract

The thyroid gland is highly sensitive organ in the neck. It lies in the interior portion of the neck in front of the larynx.US imaging is commonly used for detection of abnormalities in thyroid gland due to less costly and easy process than other techniques like CT ,MRI.US images consist of noise and are blurred so there is a need to segment US image. In this paper we use neural networks with image processing for segmentation which give better results.
