Anatomical figures obtained by means of a delineation technique as an additional strategy in the clinical evaluation of the thyroid

In patients with morphological alterations of the thyroid, both physical examination (inspection and palpation) imaging studies continue to be cornerstone for their evaluation, treatment, long-term follow-up. The realization anatomical figures, obtained by means a thyroid morphology delineation technique, is proposed as an additional exploratory intervention strategy in initial clinical evaluation follow-up gland alterations. A micropore paper tape adhered surface neck skin, specifically area where located. Subsequently, pen, outer edges are gently outlined, using repeated sequence palpation-outlining until figure explored its elements (e.g. nodules). figures technique evidenced progressive changes (example: nodule). This proposal would performed clinician his office. Although it not intended replace information provided such ultrasound or CT scan, can great value office disease. has some advantages that useful reinforce diagnostic therapeutic decisions based on gland. addition, makes easier patient have better perception evolution own Key words: Thyroid, propedeutic, technique.
