Malignancy-Aware Dual-Task Heatmap Decoupling for thyroid ultrasound nodule detection and classification

Background Accurate thyroid nodule detection and benign-malignant classification on ultrasound are critical for early cancer diagnosis. Existing deep-learning detectors encode localization and classification in a shared feature space, causing inter-task feature redundancy and limiting task-specific performance. Methods...
