New Algorithm Improves Accuracy of Computer Screening for Thyroid Disease

Improved expert system may lead to more clinical laboratory testing for patients with subclinical thyroid disease It’s long been predicted that use of computer algorithms to sift through clinical data sets can be one way to detect disease. This is a diagnostic method that—in theory—could either increase or decrease the need to perform medical laboratory tests for certain types of diseases. A paper recently published by researchers in India describes an improved algorithm to detect thyroid...
