RE: Role of Duplex Doppler US for Thyroid Nodules: Looking for the "Sword" Sign
نویسندگان
چکیده
Duplex Doppler US may be useful for the detection of thyroid malignancies that show either anarchic winding or penetrating "sword like" neoangiogenic vessels. It may be helpful in selecting nodules that should undergo fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Sonography and Color Doppler in the Evaluation of Cold Thyroid Nodules
Background/Objective: Thyroid nodules are a common finding, especially in our country. In this study, we evaluated the role of conventional ultrasonography (US) and color doppler sonography (CDS) in assessment of cold thyroid nodules. Materials and Methods: Ninety-seven patients with a cold thyroid nodule were examined by US and CDS before thyroidectomy .On US, the presence of a halo sign, hypo...
متن کاملComparision of the Diagnostic values of Doppler Sonography with Fine Needle Aspiration in Thyroid Nodules
Introduction: Thyroid nodules are frequent occurrences, and whenever diagnosed, it is necessary to rule out of malignancy. Valuable diagnostic methods in this field are sonography and fine needle aspiration. In this study while investigating these two methods, we compared them with postsurgical pathologic findings. Materials and methods: This is a cross sectional, descriptive-analytical study. ...

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...

Background and purpose: The gold standards for diagnosis of thyroid nodules are cytology (FNA) and pathology. However, the role of ultrasonography is rising in detection and characterization of malignant and benign thyroid nodules. This study compared these two diagnostic methods to establish a complementary role for ultrasonography. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was perfor...
