Fig. 5From: Thyroid nodule recognition in computed tomography using first order statisticsExamples of the normal tissue (a) and thyroid nodule (b, c). The entropy, standard deviation and kurtosis in image a (0.939, 0.021, and 0.001 respectively) are less than those in image b and c (0.977, 0.029, 0.013 and 0.981, 0.064, 0.006). On the contrary, uniformity in a (0.011) is higher than those in b (0.002) and c (0.004)Back to article page
