Özet: The concept of fractals is used for complex and irregular objects or structures in systems. The complexity of medical images allows us to use Fractal geometry rather then Euclidian geometry for their characterization. In this paper, we have discussed the analysis of thyroid ultrasound images to calculate fractal dimension. Fractal analysis software was used for the calculation of fractal dimension and correlation coefficient values. In the fractal analysis on the thyroid ultrasound images, the determination of the dimensions of the lesions, nodules or cysts in the region by using fractal concepts can be predicted and used as an assistive system for physicians in the treatment and early diagnosis of thyroid disorders.
