Evaluation of ِdiagnostic role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin scintigraphy in cold thyroid nodules [Persian]
Introduction: Various radiopharmaceuticals, including 67Ga, 201Tl, and 99mTc-sestamibi have been used to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. 99mTc-Tetrofosmin, a lipophilic cationic radiotracer, and 99mTc-sestamibi have also been reported to accumulate in thyroid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin in the differentiation of malignant from ben...

متن کاملRole of color Doppler ultrasonography in the preoperative management of cold thyroid nodules.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the application of color flow Doppler (CFD) sonography in the preoperative management of benign and malignant cold thyroid nodules. DESIGN Eighty-five patients with a cold thyroid nodule larger than 1cm were examined with CFD sonography prior to thyroidectomy. The histological examination revealed that 18 (21%) patients had malignant nodules and 67 (79%) had benign ones....
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 کاملUltrasonography of thyroid nodules: a pictorial review
UNLABELLED Thyroid nodules are a common occurrence in the general population, and these incidental thyroid nodules are often referred for ultrasound (US) evaluation. US provides a safe and fast method of examination. It is sensitive for the detection of thyroid nodules, and suspicious features can be used to guide further investigation/management decisions. However, given the financial burden o...
