… This study determined mean elasticity and shear wave velocity values for thyroid gland in
healthy children. This information can be used as a baseline for the investigation of … In
this study, we measured the local shear wave speed (in meters per second) and Young
modulus (in kilopascals) of normal thyroid glands in healthy children to determine reference
values and to supply information for further studies dealing with thyroid gland diseases. We
believe that knowing the normal elasticity values of healthy thyroid glands in the pediatric …
