Thyroid Detection using Machine learning

Abstract

Thyroid is a gland which is present in front of the neck, wrapped around the windpipe (trachea). Thyroid shape is like Butterfly that’s smaller in the middle and 2 side wings which are around the throat. As Thyroid is a gland it is important in our body when thyroid produces too much thyroid hormones then that condition is called hyperthyroidism and if thyroid gland produces less thyroid hormones then that condition is called hypothyroidism. Machine learning is one of the most important tools to classify the diseases nowadays whether a person has a disease or not like Cancer detection, kidney disease detection or Diabetes etc. Our project is to predict whether a person has Thyroid disease or not. Whether he has hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, or he is not suffering from thyroid disease.
