Abstract:Purpose
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules and their correlation with the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS).
Methods
This prospective study included 370 thyroid nodules in 308 patients aged 18–70 years. All the patients underwent B-mode ultrasound (US), Doppler examination,… Show more
