Introduction

This website presents our effort to find out dependencies in evaluation of thyroid gland ultrasonographic images in B-mode by physicians and developed classifier (see references).

The examination of the interpersonal variability in image evaluation between single physicians will be another target. When more evaluations per patient (subject) will be done by single physician, it could be evaluated intrapersonal variability too.

In our study we concentrate only in distinguishing autoimmune thyreoiditis and normal glands. Thus, if a node or a pseudocyst is present, please ignore it and evaluate the image only in the sense whether the chronic inflammation is present.
