The thyroid

The thyroid is an organ that is particularly amenable to image analysis. there are a number of toxicology symptoms that can be seen in the thyroid, where more quantitative approaches give data rather than qualitative pathology reviews. Below is a dog thyroid, where the various tissue components are separated in order to better judge thyroid activity.

Genie can be used to define regions of interest in thyroid gland, and then separate tissue component areas can be measured to judge various aspects of thyroid gland activity. (follicular epithelium in green, colloid in red and C-cells in blue).
