Despite the publication of a recent meta-analysis of elastography in thyroid nodules, further
work is necessary on this issue in different populations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate …

Purpose To evaluate the role of ultrasound elastography as an additional technique in
differentiating US indeterminate thyroid nodules in order to decrease the number of tissue …

Purpose: To report and evaluate qualitative elastography patterns by using gray-scale and
Doppler ultrasound (US) in patients presenting with benign thyroid nodules and to evaluate …

Background. Ultrasonography is considered useful to distinguish between solid and cystic
thyroid nodules and to stratify a nodule's risk of cancer as low, medium, or high. Ultrasound …

The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the predictive value of
elastography in benign thyroid nodules of patients affected by Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) …

Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of real‐time
ultrasound elastography in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules. Methods …

Background: Elastography is a newly developed dynamic technique that uses ultrasound
(US) to provide an estimation of tissue stiffness by measuring the degree of distortion under …

Elasticity within a thyroid nodule, as evaluated by elastography, offers diagnostic results that
are equal to or sometimes even greater than that of conventional ultrasonography for the …

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography alone and combined with Thyroid
Imaging Reporting And Data System (TIRADS) for the assessment of non-autonomous …

Background: Several studies have evaluated the ability of ultrasound elastography (USE) to
diagnose malignant nodules. However, these studies had important limiting factors …
