Thyroid nodules are very common, while thyroid cancer is rare and has a very good
prognosis. Thyroid nodule ultrasound characterization performed by experienced clinicians …

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 …

Purpose To assess the effectiveness of semiquantitative elastosonography (Q-elastography)
compared with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differentiating the nature of thyroid …

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

Ultrasound (US) elastography has been introduced as a non-invasive technique for
evaluating thyroid diseases. This paper presents a detailed description of the technical …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate hability of a threshold value in ShearWave™ elastography to rule
out malignant thyroid nodules while studying its pertinence in association with …

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 …

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

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical value of strain ratio in differentiating thyroid solid nodules
and explore its distribution characters based on pathological results. MATERIALS AND …

Background Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) was developed to
improve patient management and cost-effectiveness by avoiding unnecessary fine needle …
