The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the predictive value of
elastography in benign thyroid nodules of patients affected by Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) …

Despite the publication of a recent meta-analysis of elastography in thyroid nodules, further
work is necessary on this issue in different populations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate …

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 …

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 …

Purpose: To report and evaluate qualitative elastography patterns by using gray-scale and
Doppler ultrasound (US) in patients presenting with benign thyroid nodules and to evaluate …

Purpose To evaluate the role of ultrasound elastography as an additional technique in
differentiating US indeterminate thyroid nodules in order to decrease the number of tissue …

Elastography is a method which assesses the risk of the malignancy and provides
information about the degree of hardness in tissue. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune …

Although thyroid nodules are very common, most of them are benign [1]. The aim of any
imaging modality is to accurately identify the small number of nodules that are malignant so …

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

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 …
