Characteristics of incidentally found thyroid nodules in computed tomography: comparison with thyroid scintigraphy
BACKGROUND In our daily experience, the differentiation between a cold and hot nodule is a very important factor for further clinical management of the patient. In this study, we compared the characteristics of incidentally found thyroid nodules detected on computed tomography (CT) to thyroid scintigraphy (TS). METHODS Diagnostic reports from chest CT with intravenous contrast and TS examinat...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Features of Incidentally Detected Diffuse Thyroid Disease
Objective. This study aimed to evaluate the CT features of incidentally detected DTD in the patients who underwent thyroidectomy and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT diagnosis. Methods. We enrolled 209 consecutive patients who received preoperative neck CT and subsequent thyroid surgery. Neck CT in each case was retrospectively investigated by a single radiologist. We evaluated the diagn...
متن کاملComparison of Cytologic Reports of Fine-Needle Aspiration of Thyroid Nodules with Pathologic Results of Thyroid Surgery
Background and Objective: Thyroid nodules are among the most common clinical problems and the application of an inexpensive and accurate diagnostic method prevents performing inessential surgeries. In this regard, the aim of this study was to compare the cytologic report of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules with the results of thyroid surgery. Materials and Methods: In this cross...
متن کاملDetermination of Ultrasonographic Characteristics of Thyroid Nodules for Thyroid Cancer Prediction
Background: In this study, we investigated the diagnostic power of ultrasound in the diagnosis of malignancy in thyroid nodules in Iranian patients. For this purpose, we examined the relationship between ultrasound findings and pathology findings. Methods: The present study is a retrospective study. The patients with a diagnosis of thyroid nodules who underwent ultrasound and FNA, were include...
