Objective: Work-up of thyroid nodules remains challenging. Recent technologies enable
determination of tissue elasticity and perfusion using ultrasound devices. The aim of the …

Ultrasonography (US)-based elastography has been introduced as a noninvasive technique
for evaluating thyroid nodules that encompasses a variety of approaches such as …

Context: Ultrasound (US) elastography (USE) was recently been reported as a sensitive,
noninvasive tool for identifying thyroid cancer. However, the accuracy of this technique is …

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a new
ultrasound elastography (USE) parameter based on the measurement of the percentage of …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of real-time ultrasound
elastography (RUE) in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules, with fine …

Purpose The correlation between a nodule stiffness and malignancy has been found by
clinical palpation and demonstrated in in vitro studies. Ultrasound Elastography (USE) is …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate real-time qualitative ultrasound elastography for focal thyroid
masses undergoing fine-needle aspiration in a routine thyroid ultrasound clinic. MATERIALS …

Thyroid pathology including thyroid nodules and diffuse thyroid diseases represents often a
diagnosing challenge for clinicians. US, although highly accurate in identifying thyroid …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound strain
elastography (USE) for circumscribed solid thyroid nodules without malignant or benign …

Background: Malignancy is correlated with stiffness which is assessed by real time
elastosonography (RTE). RTE is not used in routine practice. We aimed to establish the …
