OBJECTIVE: 1) To classify the appearance of thyroid nodules displayed on ultrasound
elastography; 2) to explore the sensitivity and specificity of this examination for differentiating …

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 …

To appraise the literature for studies involving the use of elastography to diagnose thyroid
nodule pathology. Two independent reviewers performed a systematic review of the English …

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 …

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

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 …

Objectives Initial data suggest that elastography can improve the specificity of sonography
for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid lesions. The primary objective of this study …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Malignancy correlates with hardness of tissues and US
elastography can potentially analyze the stiffness of lesions. Our aim was to evaluate the …

The aims were to determine the reliability of ultrasound elastography (USE) and the factors
related to reliability. One hundred six solid thyroid nodules in 78 consecutive patients were …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to investigate interobserver agreement for the
diagnosis of malignant thyroid nodules using conventional B-mode ultrasound and real-time …
