Background: yroid nodules are a very common pathology in clinical practice and in
imaging studies. Autopsy results indicate a 50% prevalence of thyroid nodules greater than …

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic performances of strain
elastography (SE), shear wave elastography (SWE), and traditional ultrasound (US) features …

Thyroid nodules are a common finding especially in regions with inadequate iodine supply.
Ultrasound is an accurate method for the detection of thyroid nodules, but it has a low …

Aim To determine the diagnostic performance of colour mapping and strain ratio for
characterizing malignant thyroid nodules on ultrasonographic (US) elastography. Materials …

Ultrasound elastography (USE) has been used for quantitative imaging since the early
1990s. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of USE with that of …

Objectives The purpose of our study was to investigate interobserver agreement for thyroid
ultrasound elastography and to analyze the reproducibility of real‐time freehand …

Purpose Elastography is a real-time non-invasive ultrasonography modality wherein the
tissue stiffness is evaluated by calculating the degree of tissue distortion in response to an …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate color thyroid elastograms quantitatively
and objectively and select more effective features to differentiate benign from malignant …

Cytological examination of material from fine-needle aspiration biopsy is the mainstay of
diagnosis of thyroid nodules, thanks to its remarkable accuracy and scarcity of …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to present, through systematic review of recent
literature, a comparative effectiveness analysis of ultrasound elastography versus B-mode …
