Background: No conventional imaging method reliably distinguishes between benign and
malignant thyroid nodules. Our objectives were to characterize the enhancement patterns of …

We aimed to investigate different enhancement patterns of solid thyroid nodules on contrast-
enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and then to evaluate the corresponding diagnostic …

To assess the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of the thyroid gland and to
evaluate the potential of this method for characterising solitary thyroid nodules. 18 patients …

Objectives: The aim was to study the patterns of solitary thyroid nodule with real-time
contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and assess its value in differentiating between …

Simple Summary Ultrasound has been used as baseline imaging for thyroid nodules for
decades; nevertheless, no single feature is sensitive or specific enough to exclude or …

Objective. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a new noninvasive modality for the
diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, the performance of CEUS in differentiating malignant …

Results Histology revealed 43 benign lesions and 18 malignant lesions. At contrast-
enhanced Power Doppler 83.4%(15/18) of the malignant nodules were found to be …

Thyroid nodules can be detected in 4% to 8% of the adult population by palpation, but in
40% to 50% of the population by ultrasound. The overwhelming majority of these represent …

Background The present study was undertaken to systematically review the literature on the
reliability of using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to assess thyroid nodules. To avoid …
