Thyroid cancer is the type of cancer caused by the cells of the thyroid gland. This is less common than other types of cancer. If the correct diagnosis is made and appropriate treatment is given, the disease can be completely removed.
In this study, 3D models of thyroid cancer were modeled using DICOM images. As is known, dicom is the de-facto file standard in medical imaging, and these files contain many metadata. We used some of these meta-attributes to calculate the Hounsfield Unit. In addition, the pixel values are calculated according to the average attenuation of the tissue corresponding to a scale of -1024 to + 3071 on the Hounsfield scale. The DICOM images used in the study were obtained from real patients under the supervision of specialist doctors. Thyroid cancer tumors were modeled as 3D using the pixel values of Marching Cubes Algorithm.
