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 …

Purpose Ultrasound elastography (USE) is a newly developed technique for the evaluation
of tissue stiffness. It is known that malignancies often show a low-strain value. So far, only …

Background: In the ultrasound evaluation of masses, elastography measures stiffness, which
may predict malignancy. Studies of small or selected subgroups suggest that elastography …

Context: Thyroid nodules are selected for biopsy on the basis of clinical and ultrasound (US)
findings. Ultrasonography detects nodules at risk of malignancy, but its diagnostic accuracy …

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

Elastography is a new diagnostic tool in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Aim of the study
was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of elastography in discriminating thyroid lesions …

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

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 …

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the elastographic appearance of thyroid gland tumors
and explore the potential sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonographic (US) elastography for …
