As multidetector CT has come to play a more central role in medical care and as CT image
quality has improved, there has been an increase in the frequency of detecting “incidental …

Context: Elastography uses ultrasound (US) to assess elasticity. Shear wave elastography
(SWE) is a new technique that estimates tissue stiffness in real time and is quantitative and …

The thyroid gland is one of the most radiosensitive human organs. While it is well known that
radiation exposure increases the risk of thyroid cancer, less is known about its effects in …

Purpose To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of power Doppler
ultrasonography (US) in depicting vascularity and to determine whether the combination of …

Thyroid nodules are approximately 4 times more common in women than in men. Palpable
nodules increase in frequency throughout life, reaching a prevalence of approximately 5% in …

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

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 …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to analyze the sonographic appearance of
nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. As part of an ongoing …

Most thyroid nodules are heterogeneous with various internal components, which confuse
many radiologists and physicians with their various echo patterns in ultrasound images …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to compare sonographic features of benign and
malignant nodules in patients with diffuse Hashimoto thyroiditis. SUBJECTS AND …
