Thyroid pathology including thyroid nodules and diffuse thyroid diseases represents often a
diagnosing challenge for clinicians. US, although highly accurate in identifying thyroid …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to compare the diagnostic performances of shear-
wave and strain elastography for the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions …

Objective To evaluate the correlation between stiffness values obtained by shear-wave
elastography (SWE) and breast cancer subtypes. Methods This was an institutional review …

Objectives To evaluate the predictability of shear-wave ultrasound elastography (SWE) for
thyroid malignancy and to compare the diagnostic performances of SWE and B-mode US …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for the
diagnosis of malignancy in follicular lesions and to identify the optimal SWE measurement …

Objective Virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)
is a new quantitative technique to measure tissue stiffness. The study was aimed to assess …

Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with
physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely …

Background: Several studies have evaluated the ability of ultrasound elastography (USE) to
diagnose malignant nodules. However, these studies had important limiting factors …

Thyroid nodules are very common, while thyroid cancer is rare and has a very good
prognosis. Thyroid nodule ultrasound characterization performed by experienced clinicians …
