Shear Wave Elastography in the Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules with Coexistent Chronic Autoimmune Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the differentiation of malignant and benign thyroid nodules with coexistent Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary general hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS From September 2012 to January 2014, conventional ultrasound and SWE were performed on 243 patients ...
متن کاملShear wave elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of thyroid malignant nodules
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of thyroid malignant nodules. A total of 253 patients with 319 thyroid nodules were subjected to two-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS) and CEUS examinations prior to thyroidectomy between March, 2014 and December, 2015. Young's modulus value for each ...
متن کاملThe Preciseness in Diagnosing Thyroid Malignant Nodules Using Shear-Wave Elastography
Our study aimed to identify more accurate results about the diagnostic role of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for thyroid malignant nodules through a meta-analysis. Potential articles were searched in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases. Overall sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to represent the diagnostic accuracy of SWE. Summary receiver op...
متن کاملComparison of Diagnostic Accuracy of Real-Time Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography in Differentiation Malignant From Benign Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid nodules are relatively more prevalent in iodine-deficiency area, and the incidence increased sharply in the past decade in these areas. Workup of malignant from benign nodules in clinic was the main problem for managing thyroid nodules.An overall search for the articles about the diagnostic performance of real-time elastography (RTE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) before April 2015 i...
متن کاملDiagnostic potential of real-time elastography (RTE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) to differentiate benign and malignant thyroid nodules
BACKGROUND Real-time elastography (RTE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) are noninvasive and easily available imaging techniques that measure the tissue strain, and it has been reported that the sensitivity and the specificity of elastography were better in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules than conventional technologies. METHODS Relevant articles were searched in ...
