Thyroid Ultrasound: State of the Art Part 1 – Thyroid Ultrasound reporting and Diffuse Thyroid Diseases

Abstract: Accurate differentiation of focal thyroid nodules (FTL) and thyroid abnormalities is pivotal for proper diagnostic and therapeutic work-up. In these two part articles, the role of ultrasound techniques in the characterization of FTL and evaluation of diffuse thyroid diseases is described to expand on the recently published World Federation in Ultrasound and Medicine (WFUMB) thyroid elastography guidelines and review how this guideline fits into a complete thyroid ultrasound exam.

“…The summary sensitivity was 81% (95% CI: 71-88) and the specificity was 91% (95% CI: [83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96] for the prediction of significant liver fibrosis. Subgroup analysis revealed that 2D-SWE had an excellent diagnostic performance according to each degree of liver fibrosis.…”
