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 …

Thyroid nodules are very common with malignancies accounting for about 5%. Fine-needle
biopsy is the most accurate test for thyroid cancer diagnosis. Elastography, a new …

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 …

Although elastography seems promising in identifying malignant thyroid nodules with
acceptable accuracy, further studies are necessary to change the current management of …

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 …

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

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

Thyroid elastography has become, lately, one of the main focuses in thyroid imaging. With
more than one hundred papers published on this subject, the core of accumulated …

The prevalence of thyroid nodules is approximately 3% to 8% in the general population1–4
but increases to almost 50% after 65 years of age. 5 With advances in technology, incidence …

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