Abstract

The concept of fractals is used for complex and irregular objects or structures in systems.

Özet

Fraktal kavramı, sistemlerdeki karmaşık ve düzensiz nesneler veya yapılar için kullanılmaktadır. Medikal görüntülerin karmaşıklığı, görüntülerin karakterizasyonu için Öklid geometrisi yerine Fraktal geometrisini kullanmamıza izin verir. Bu çalışmada, tiroid ultrason görüntüleri fraktal boyutu hesaplamak için analiz edilmiştir. Fraktal analiz yazılımı, korelasyon katsayısının ve fraktal boyut değerlerinin hesaplanması için kullanılmıştır. Hesaplanan fraktal boyut değerleri tiroid ultrason görüntü verisine göre değişmektedir. Tiroid ultrason görüntülerinde fraktal analiz ile bölgede yer alan kistlerin, nodüllerin veya lezyonların fraktal kavramı kullanılarak boyutlarının hesaplanmasının, tiroid hastalıklarının erken teşhis edilmesinde ve tedavisinde hekimlere yardımcı sistem olarak kullanılabileceği öngörülmektedir
