Purpose Ultrasound elastography (USE) is a newly developed technique for the evaluation
of tissue stiffness. It is known that malignancies often show a low-strain value. So far, only …

Background: Elastography is a newly developed dynamic technique that uses ultrasound
(US) to provide an estimation of tissue stiffness by measuring the degree of distortion under …

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

Introduction: Real-time elastography (RTE) is a non-invasive ultrasound method of
estimation of tissue stiffness by measuring the degree of local tissue displacements after a …

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 …

Elastography is a method of tissue stiffness assessment. It has already been demonstrated
that thyroid cancers are less elastic than benign lesions. However, little is known about other …

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

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: To evaluate real-time qualitative ultrasound elastography for focal thyroid
masses undergoing fine-needle aspiration in a routine thyroid ultrasound clinic. MATERIALS …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of sonography and
sonographic elastography in thyroid nodules with nondiagnostic cytologic findings. Methods …
