Context: Significant uncertainty remains surrounding the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic
features used to predict the malignant potential of thyroid nodules. Objective: The objective …

Importance The incidence of detected thyroid cancer cases has been increasing in the
United States since 1975. The majority of thyroid cancers are differentiated cancers with …

Importance The incidence of thyroid cancer detection has increased by 4.5% per year over
the last 10 years, faster than for any other cancer, but without a corresponding change in the …

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 …

Background: Ultrasonography (US) is increasingly being employed by endocrinologists and
surgeons in the diagnosis and management of patients with thyroid nodules and thyroid …

Context: The risk of loco-regional recurrence in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients
ranges from 15–30%. However, the clinical significance of small-volume loco-regional …

Background: Real-time elastography (RTE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) are
noninvasive and easily available imaging techniques that measure the tissue strain, and it …

BACKGROUND: Multinodular goiters (MNG) have recently been shown to have an
incidence of cancer that approaches that of solitary thyroid nodule. However, fine needle …

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

The role for ultrasound (US) in the assessment of nodular thyroid disease has increased in
recent years. This expanded role has been highlighted in recent consensus guidelines on …
