Sonographic Elastography of the Thyroid Gland
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thyroid gland disorders include benign and malignant thyroid nodules and diffuse thyroid disorders. The incidence of malignant thyroid nodules is low and the prognosis is good. The diagnosis of thyroid cancer and diffuse parenchymal disorders is generally based on clinical manifestations and histopathological evaluation. Ultrasonography has its place in the diagnostics and follow-up of thyroid disorders. Ultrasonographic elastography is a new, developing method that shows increase in clinical practice. In this study, we aimed to review the data on thyroid ultrasound elastography.

Role of ultrasonography in thyroid disease.
Ultrasonography (US) is the single-most valuable imaging modality in the evaluation of the thyroid gland. This review discusses the US appearances of thyroid nodules, emphasizing sonographic features associated with potentially malignant or, at the other end of the spectrum, likely benign nodules. Diffuse thyroid abnormalities have also been reviewed. The technique of ultrasound-guided fine-nee...
متن کاملThyroid Tuberculosis Presenting as a Cystic Nodule
Although tuberculosis involves every organ and has a wide range of clinical manifestation, however involvement of the thyroid gland is rare. We report a case of a 25-yr-old female with supraclavicular lymphadenitis that developed nodular swelling of the thyroid and had symptoms and sonographic features mimicking a nodule with a cystic component. The diagnosis was made by using fine needle aspir...

Background: Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of thyroid gland has greater sensitivity as compared to other diagnostic modalities for thyroid nodules. The present study was conducted to compare the sonographic findings of cold thyroid nodules with cytologic changes. Materials and methods: For 219 patients, sonography of thyroid nodules was performed by 7.5MHz probes and the following changes were r...
متن کاملComparison of color-Doppler and qualitative and quantitative strain-elastography for differentiation of thyroid nodules in daily practice.
OBJECTIVE Strain-elastography provides a new ultrasound-based method that can offer information about the stiffness of thyroid nodules as an indicator of malignancy. The aim of our study was to compare the utility of color-Doppler and strain-elastography in differentiating between benign and malignant nodules. DESIGN AND METHODS 77 thyroid nodules (70 benign and 7 malignant) from 70 unselecte...
متن کاملSonographic Detection of Thyroid Cancer in Breast Cancer Patients
The purpose of our study was to analyze the incidence of incidental thyroid cancers which were detected by simultaneous sonographic examination of breast and thyroid glands. Between January 2001 and March 2004, 518 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy (n=369) or breast conserving surgery (n=149). We screened thyroid glands when we examined breast for diag...
