The paper presents the diagnostics of parenchyma echogenicity and organ dimensions in thyroid examinations in case of the Hashimoto's disease using image processing methods. In case of discovering focal changes within the thyroid, a method for their pathology evaluation is suggested. The detector proposed operates fully automatically; using the information on the image texture it detects an artery in the image, which plays the role of a reference point, and based on it - detects the area of interest.
