The use of decision tree induction and artificial neural networks for automatic diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease

作者:

Highlights:

• We have presented 2 models for classification of ultrasound thyroid images.

• Decision tree induction and multilayer perceptron neural network methods have been used.

• Used methods let to achieve the classification accuracy of sick cases at the level of 89.41%.

• Models may detect the cases affected by early stage of Hashimoto’s disease.

• Models can be used in an advisory system for support a doctor in the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease.
