- Abstract
In this study, we propose the direct diagnosis of thyroid cancer using a small probe. The probe can easily check the abnormalities of existing thyroid tissue without relying on experts, which reduces the cost of examining thyroid tissue and enables the initial self-examination of thyroid cancer with high accuracy. A multi-layer silicon-structured probe module is used to photograph light scattered by elastic changes in thyroid tissue under pressure to obtain a tactile image of the thyroid gland. In the thyroid tissue under pressure, light scatters to the outside depending on the presence of malignant and positive properties. A simple and easy-to-use tactile-sensation imaging system is developed by documenting the characteristics of the organization of tissues by using non-invasive technology for analyzing tactile images and judging the properties of abnormal tissues.
