Pitfalls in the diagnosis of thyroid dysgenesis by thyroid ultrasonography and scintigraphy.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the reliability of thyroid ultrasonography (US) and scintigraphy in determining the type of thyroid dysgenesis (TD). METHODS The study included 82 children (8.0±5.6 years) with a diagnosis of TD by thyroid scintigraphy with (99m)Tc and/or US. The patients were re-evaluated 6.0±5.1 years after the diagnosis.

متن کاملReliable Parameters of Color Doppler Ultrasonography for Predicting Thyroid Function
To compare and determine color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) parameters that is the most reliable parameter for predicting thyroid functional status between euthyroid and hyperthyroid states. We retrospectively reviewed data from a total of 256 patients (197 females and 59 males) who had undergone CDU from December 2003 to April 2008. Patients’ age ranged from 11-81 yr with average of 38.6 yr. ...
