MedSaab-US: A Backpropagation-Free Multi-Scale Wavelet-Saab Framework for Thyroid Nodule Segmentation in Ultrasound Images
Deep learning (DL) methods dominate thyroid nodule segmentation in ultrasound (US) images, achieving high Dice scores but at the cost of millions of parameters, GPU-dependent training via backpropagation, and limited mathematical tractability. These limitations impede deployment…
