Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for Differentiation of Thyroid Nodules
BACKGROUND Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)-Imaging is an ultrasound-based elastography method enabling quantitative measurement of tissue stiffness. The aim of the present study was to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of ARFI-imaging for differentiation of thyroid nodules and to compare it to the well evaluated qualitative real-time elastography (RTE). METHODS ARFI-imaging involve...
متن کاملAcoustic radiation force impulse elastography for differentiation of malignant and benign breast lesions: a meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis was aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography for the differentiation of malignant and benign breast lesions. The databases of PubMed, Web of Science(TM), WanFang, Vip, SinoMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched for all studies that evaluated the diagnostic performance of ARFI including virtual to...
متن کاملThe differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of real-time ultrasound elastography (RUE) in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules, with fine needle aspiration cytology analysis as the reference standard. A total of 78 consecutive patients with thyroid nodules who were selected for fine needle aspiration biopsies were examined in this prospective study. 78 nodule...
متن کاملAcoustic Radiation Force Impulse imaging for detecting thyroid nodules: a systematic review and pooled meta-analysis.
AIM To investigate the diagnostic performance of shear wave velocity (SWV) using virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) technology in differentiating malignant and benign thyroid nodules by conducting a meta-analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Cochrane library, Embase, Pubmed, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies through De...
متن کاملAcoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for the Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Lymph Nodes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the overall performance of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) in differentiating between benign and malignant lymph nodes (LNs) by conducting a meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure were comprehensively searched for potential studies through August 13th, 2016. Studies that ...
