Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has
produced guidelines for the use of elastography techniques including basic science, breast …

The widespread use of ultrasonography places it in a key position for use in the risk
stratification of thyroid nodules. The French proposal is a five-tier system, our version of a …

Thyroid ultrasound (US) is a key examination for the management of thyroid nodules.
Thyroid US is easily accessible, noninvasive, and cost-effective, and is a mandatory step in …

Thyroid nodules are very common all over the world, and China is no exception. Ultrasound
plays an important role in determining the risk stratification of thyroid nodules, which is …

This manuscript describes the use of ultrasound elastography, with the exception of liver
applications, and represents an update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of …

Objective To evaluate prospectively the diagnostic accuracy of the thyroid imaging reporting
and data system (TI-RADS) and its interobserver agreement and to estimate the reduction of …

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 …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for the
diagnosis of malignancy in follicular lesions and to identify the optimal SWE measurement …

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

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