Thyroid Navigator vs Cut score

The Thyroid Navigator is the 3D graphics model of around the thyroid. It developed to be utilized on the various medical scenes as the communication tool in any kind of disease of the thyroid. It displays clearly the perspective from the skin, the benign tumor, the thyroid cancer, the lymph node metastasis, tracheal invasion, the chronic thyroiditis, relationship of thyroid and trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve, artery, and vein, a postop condition, a parathyroid-tumor. Please use for description to the patient, education scene, in a variety of medical scene. - The three dimensional model which specialized at the thyroid． - It displays 360 degrees rotated. - It displays a thyroid in 3 patterns, states of the skin, vessels and nerves, only nerve. - It displays some symptoms of tumor sample. - It introduces the image of the preoperative, the postop on each case basis. - It is ideal for teaching physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians to that aims to thyroidology. - Compatible language is English and Japanese. ＜詳細＞ サイロイド・ナビゲーターは、甲状腺とその周辺組織を詳細に再現した3Dグラフィックスモデルです。拡大、縮小、回転により容易に細部まで観察することができます。 甲状腺疾患の診療におけるコミュニケーションツールとして、患者様への説明や甲状腺を学ぶ医療従事者への教育など、さまざまな医療現場でご活用いただくことを目的として開発しました。 皮膚からの透視図、甲状腺の良性腫瘍、甲状腺癌、リンパ節転移、気管浸潤、慢性甲状腺炎、甲状腺と気管、反回神経、動静脈との関係、術後の状態、副甲状腺腫瘍などをわかりやすく表示し、さらに理解を深めることができます。 -　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　 　＊　甲状腺に特化した3Dグラフィックスモデル 　＊　360度回転させて表示 　＊　甲状腺を“皮膚のある状態”、“血管と神経”、“神経のみ”の３パターンで表示 　＊　腫瘍の症状サンプルを数パターン表示 　＊　症例ごとに術前、術後のイメージを表示 -　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-　-

The CUT score is a new cancer risk score for thyroid nodules suitable in any clinical setting. The CUT is an acronym indicating Clinical, Ultrasonographic and Thyroid cytology aspects of a thyroid nodule. The CUT score has been created to help clinicians with thyroid nodule preoperative malignancy risk assessment. This tool is intentionally developed on easily avalaible clinical data in order to allow physicians to apply the ‘‘CUT’’ score in any clinical setting using basic US technology. In the CUT score, the sum of each clinical (C) and/or ultrasonographic (U) suspicious feature results in the C+U sum, ranging from 0 to 10. This sum along with the five-tiered score of the fine-needle aspiration results (T = 1–5) determines the final ‘‘CUT’’ score of the TN. The C+U sum of the CUT score: helps to select thyroid nodules requiring fine-needle aspiration (e.g., the thyroid nodule with the highest C+U score in a multinodular goiter) when the thyroid cytology (T) is avalaible, allows to assess the risk of malignancy of the thyroid nodule in the final CUT score. The CUT score is designated exclusively for medical use and is not intended to be directly used by the patient to take any medical decision without a doctor’s advice. It has been created by the work of endocrinologists operating in the Policlinico Gemelli’s Division of Endocrinology. It’s a medical application derived from the following published studies: Campanella P, Ianni F, Rota CA, Corsello SM, Pontecorvi A.
