Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of
preoperative ultrasonography (US) for the prediction of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) in …

Background This study aimed to investigate whether the elasticity index of shear-wave
elastography (SWE) can predict cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis of papillary thyroid …

Active surveillance (AS) can be considered as an alternative to immediate surgery in low-
risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) without clinically apparent lymph nodes, gross …

Background Ultrasound (US) is a standard preoperative study in thyroid cancer. Accurate
identification of lymph node (LN) disease in the central neck by US is debated, leading some …

Recent advances in modern imaging allow an accurate identification of involved or
suspicious lymph nodes within the nodal compartments of the neck. Careful …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance and
interobserver agreement of 2‐dimensional (2D) and 3‐dimensional (3D) sonography for …

Background Accurate neck staging is essential for performing appropriate surgery and
avoiding undue morbidity in thyroid cancer. The modality of choice for evaluation is …

Objectives To analyze sonographic findings suggesting central lymph node metastasis of
papillary thyroid carcinoma and to evaluate the influence of associated chronic lymphocytic …

Sonography is the modality of choice for imaging cervical lymph nodes in patients with
papillary thyroid cancer, both before surgery and for postoperative surveillance. Sonography …
