Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine correlation between thyroid gland elasticity with thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, age, gender and volume in normal population. Methods: was conducted 105 healthy cases. Thyroid evaluated axial plan using ultrasonography. Results: relationship evaluated. mean 11.95 ± 9.23 mm3. A moderate negative found kPa value observed from elasto...

UNLABELLED Parathyroid scintigraphy and high-resolution ultrasonography are frequently used as preoperative localization procedures in primary hyperparathyroidism. However, when thyroid disease coexists, their diagnostic accuracy is probably abated. DESIGN 56 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were prospectively evaluated with parathyroid scintigraphy (with either thallium or technetiu...

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a type of autoimmune thyroid disease with an increasing prevalence in past decades. Its diagnosisis mostly based on ultrasonography. Ultrasonography is a useful and essential tool to make this diagnosis based on the characteristics of the disease. In the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy is an effective method to distingui...

Patients with overt hypothyroidism show decreased echogenicity of the thyroid at ultrasonography . The purpose present study was to evaluate effectiveness for diagnosing most common and guide patients appropriate treatment by ultrasonography. This have been conducted on 80Patients, age group between 20-70 years, in period January 2020 October 2021. Thyroid carried out type ultrasound (US) machi...

In this article, we present a case of diffuse follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma with pituitary metastasis, which is rare cause metastasis. The an uncommon carcinoma. A 74-year-old male was presented weakness, fatigue, and decreased appetite. patient diagnosed secondary adrenal insufficiencies. Imaging revealed mass suprasellar extension, right cavernous sinus invasion, optic chiasm...

It has been more than three years since the unprecedentedly massive earthquake and tsunami struck eastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and the large accident occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. To investigate the influence of radiation exposure, thyroid ultrasonography has been provided preliminarily for 360,000 children who lived in Fukushima Prefecture at the time of the accide...

We report an extremely rare case of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in the thyroid Epub ahead of print pyramidal lobe (TPL). A 48-year-old woman underwent ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for a small thyroid nodule in the right lobe in local clinic, and it revealed a malignant cytology. On preoperative ultrasonography for tumor staging in our hospital, another small suspiciously...

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate the risk of thyroid cancer in patients with hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules through ultrasonographic-pathologic analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained and informed consent was waived. From 2003 to 2007, 107 patients consecutively presented with hot spots on thyroid scans and low serum thyroid-stimulating hormone ...

During last year, we have more information about minimally invasive therapeutic procedures in medicine that have become very popular. The reasons included reducing risk compared to classic surgical treatment, easy recovery, less complications, and lower cost. One of these methods is ultrasonography-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Low-level laser therapy was first reported in chronic autoi...

OBJECTIVE To compare tongue thickness, the shortest hyoid-thyroid approximation (distance between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage), and the time interval between the initiation of tongue movement and the time of the shortest hyoid-thyroid approximation, by using ultrasonography in healthy controls and patients with Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS Healthy controls and PD patients with dys...
