Objective: to compare the estimated thyroid volume, as determined by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, with real volume. Design: Descriptive Study Animals: A total of 7 mixed breed dogs Procedures: On 2D ultrasound, the thyroid volume is estimated by the ellipsoid equation and on 3D ultrasound; it is estimated by outlining the boundaries of the thyroid lobe in ...

HYPOTHESIS Incidental thyroid masses identified during carotid duplex ultrasonography may represent clinically significant lesions. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective review of a prospective database in a tertiary care referral center. PATIENTS A total of 2004 consecutive patients from January, 2000, through January, 2002, undergoing carotid duplex ultrasonography. INTERVENTIONS After bilat...

INTRODUCTION Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a common heritable neurocutaneous disorder. Neurofibromatosis type 1 may be associated with tumors of the central nervous system and pheochromocytoma. However, papillary thyroid carcinoma associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 is very rare. We present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of papillary thyroid carcinoma to be detected in...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of thyroid gland volume plays a key role in the treatment of thyroid diseases by radioactive iodine 131I. Radioiodine therapy is a routine procedure of treatment hyperthyroidism for over 50 years. MATERIAL/METHODS Today modern diagnostic has a number of medical diagnostics instruments whose using to estimate of thyroid volume. Undoubtedly these method we can include a ult...

Cases of metastases to the thyroid gland seem to be increasing in recent years. The clinical and ultrasonographic findings of diffuse metastases have been sparsely reported. Thirteen cases of diffuse metastases to the thyroid gland were documented by thyroid ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration cytology between 2004 and 2013. We retrospectively reviewed the patients with diffuse thyroi...

OBJECTIVE To establish local normative data of thyroid volume assessed by ultrasonography in subjects aged 0-55 years living in İstanbul, Turkey. METHODS Subjects without any known history of thyroid disease, of major surgery and/or chronic disease were enrolled in the study and evaluated by physical examination and thyroid ultrasonography. Thyroid gland and isthmus at usual location, each la...

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thyroid volume measurement using 99mtc pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) images, acquired by the standardized uptake value (suv)-shape scheme designed by our expert team.methods: a total of 18 consecutive patients with graves’ disease (gd) were subjected to both ultrasonographic and 99mtc pertechnet...

conclusions the aspirates from the hypovascular and hypervascular sites of solid nodules are complementary and should be performed consecutively. results when only hypervascular site was used, adequate sampling was limited to 65% of the cases. when both sites were evaluated together, overall adequate sampling was 91%. adding a sample from the hypervascular site to hypovascular aspirate increase...

Most of the studies have shown a higher risk for subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism, antithyroid autoantibodies [overall antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb)], and in general, thyroid autoimmunity, overall in the female gender in patients with sarcoidosis (S). A significantly higher prevalence of clinical hypothyroidism and Graves' disease was also described in female S patients with ...
