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

Physicians have used palpation as a diagnostic examination to understand the elastic
properties of pathology for a long time since they realized that tissue stiffness is closely …

Accurate differentiation of focal thyroid nodules (FTL) and thyroid abnormalities is pivotal for
proper diagnostic and therapeutic work-up. In these two part articles, the role of ultrasound …

Given the increased prevalence of thyroid nodules in the general population (~ 50%), the
real challenge resides in correctly recognizing the suspicious ones. This study proposes to …

Objectives To evaluate two‐dimensional (2D) shear wave elastography (SWE) performance
as an independent predictor of malignancy in the diagnostic differentiation of thyroid …

Purpose Thyroid diseases are common yet serious in children that lead to many metabolic
and growth disorders; the most common among these are diffuse thyroid diseases (DTD) …

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the applicability of shear wave elastography (SWE)
in the diagnosis of chronic autoimmun thyroiditis (CAT) patients. Material and methods: The …

Objective: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a user-independent ultrasonographic
technique that evaluates tissue elasticity. It is used especially in the evaluation of thyroiditis …

Aims: The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the feasibility of the Virtual Touch
tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ) method of shear wave elastography (SWE) for the …

Elasticity within a thyroid nodule, as evaluated by elastography, offers diagnostic results that
are equal to or sometimes even greater than that of conventional ultrasonography for the …
