A New Imaging Technique for the Diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer: Thyroidography

The utility of radiolabeled PSMA ligands for tumor imaging

“…Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies with fastest growing in the endocrine system (Aysan et al, 2019). The reports indicated the incidence of thyroid cancer is 11.2 per 100,000 in Europe in 2018 (Sollini et al, 2019).…”

A Literature Review of The Epidemiology, Pathogenesis and Treatment of Thyroid Cancer

“…However, in case of malignancy, "thyroidography' has also proved to be the more reliable technique in identification of microcalcification as well. But for better diagnosis of thyroid cancer it is preferred to use both "thyriodography" and "USG" together (Aysan et al, 2019).…”

Introducing a Novel Diagnostic Modality for Thyroid Cancer: Thyroidography

“…Ultrasound is fast, cheap and reliable while providing detailed information about nodules. However, its sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing thyroid cancer is variable, ranging between 17-87% and 39-95%, respectively [4]. Additionally, low-to moderate-quality evidence suggests that individual ultrasound features are not accurate predictors of thyroid cancer.…”

“…Subsequently, an algorithm is developed to display only microcalcifications and raw images are transformed into new images (thyroidography) generated by this algorithm. Thyroidography has shown to successfully detect microcalcifications in malignant cases with significant sensitivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy [4].…”

“…Therefore, thyroidography is a new imaging modality that can assist providers in diagnosing thyroid cancer. The authors predict that thyroidography will not replace ultrasound, but rather, will serve as a complementary modality for diagnosing thyroid cancer [4]. Especially in the setting of carcinoma, other aspects of diseased anatomy needs to be evaluated.…”
