Though their design and settings can be optimized, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have showed promise in automating this process. Powerful metaheuristic technique Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) can efficiently optimize CNNs for improved performance.\n\nMethodology: We provide in this work a deep learning method for thyroid medical image interpretation and prediction by merging CNNs with PSO. In order to extract pertinent features, we first preprocess the medical images. We next construct a CNN architecture based on the image properties. Using PSO, the CNN architecture and its hyperparameters\u2014filter sizes, layer count, and learning rates\u2014are optimized. To learn discriminative features and patterns, the optimized CNN is trained using a sizable dataset of thyroid images.\n\nContribution: Our method uses the synergistic potential of deep learning and metaheuristic optimization to advance the field of medical image analysis. Improved thyroid image analysis task performance results from our efficient search of the large space of CNN architectures and hyperparameters by integrating PSO.\n\nFindings: Our proposed method is shown to be beneficial by experimental data. Higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were obtained by the optimized CNN in thyroid disease detection than by conventional CNN architectures. \n\nRecommendation for Researchers: Furthermore, in terms of computing efficiency and accuracy of prediction, our method beat those of previous methods. Furthermore improved interpretability of the learnt characteristics gave important new perspectives on the underlying patterns in thyroid images.\n\nFuture Research: In future research, this work can be enhanced using several deep learning algorithms for achieving better accuracy and performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.28945\/5454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T14:17:57Z","timestamp":1741789077000},"page":"017","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Deep Learning Approach for Thyroid Medical Image Analysis and Prediction"],"prefix":"10.28945","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8869-1656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaik","family":"Mohammad Rafee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor & HOD, AI&ML Department, Sasi Institute of Technology & Engineering"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sreelatha","family":"P","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonios","family":"Kalampakas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering and Technology, American University of the Middle East"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayaprakash","family":"M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of CSE, Saveetha School of Engineering, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical sciences, Saveetha University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celine","family":"Kavida A","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Physics, Vel Tech Multi Tech Dr. Rangarajan Dr. Sakunthala Engineering College, Avadi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yamini","family":"S","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Karpagam Institute of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11490","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"container-title":["Informing Science: The International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.inform.nu\/Articles\/Vol28\/InfoSciV28Art017Rafee11113.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.inform.nu\/Articles\/Vol28\/InfoSciV28Art017Rafee11113.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T14:21:05Z","timestamp":1741789265000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.informingscience.org\/Publications\/5454"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["5454"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.28945\/5454","relation":{},"ISSN":["1547-9684","1521-4672"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1547-9684","type":"print"},{"value":"1521-4672","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}}}
