Use of color Doppler ultrasonography to measure thyroid blood flow and differentiate graves' disease from painless thyroiditis.
BACKGROUNDS Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) has not yet been established as a method to investigate the pathogenesis of thyrotoxicosis. OBJECTIVES Our first objective was to determine whether the measurement of peak systolic blood-flow velocity in the superior thyroid artery (STV) and thyroid tissue blood flow (TBF) using CDU could differentiate Graves' disease (GD) from painless thyroidi...
متن کاملThe value of color flow Doppler ultrasonography of the superior thyroid artery in the surgical management of Graves disease.
HYPOTHESIS The factors affecting blood flow within the hypervascular thyroid gland and the effect of vascularization on the preparation for thyroidectomy as treatment for Graves disease can be documented. DESIGN Blood flow through the superior thyroid arteries of patients with Graves disease, maintained in a euthyroid status, was measured by color flow Doppler ultrasonography. The microvessel...
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. ...
متن کاملRole of conventional ultrasonography and color flow-doppler sonography in predicting malignancy in 'cold' thyroid nodules.
The aim of the present study was to establish the usefulness of conventional thyroid ultrasonography (US) and color flow-doppler (CFD) sonography in the assessment of 'cold' thyroid nodules. One hundred and four consecutive patients with thyroid nodules who were to undergo surgery were examined by US and CFD before thyroidectomy. Conventional US evaluated the presence of a halo sign, hypoechoge...
متن کاملThyroid Ultrasonography in Differentiation between Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
OBJECTIVE Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are the most common causes of hyper and hypothyroidism, respectively. Differentiation of these 2 diseases, if the patient is euthyroid, may sometimes be extremely difficult on the basis of clinical and laboratory findings. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of gray scale sonography in differentiation o...
