Abstract:Objective:
Compared thyroid volumes measured by 2-D and 3-D US with those of resected specimens and proposed new models to improve measurement accuracy.
Methods:
This study included 80 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy. One 2D_model and one 3D_model were developed using piecewise linear regression analysis. The accuracy of these models was compared using an ellipsoid model (2-D_US value × 0.5), 3-D_US value, and Ying’s model [1.76 + (2-D_US value × 0.38)].
Results:
The new 2D_model was: V=2.66 + (… Show more
