Abstract:Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of real-time elastography (RTE) in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-two patients with 60 thyroid nodules were included in this study. Real-time elastography examinations were performed on the axial and longitudinal planes. Elastography images were classified between score 1 (whole nodule is soft) and score 5 (hardness in whole nodule and surrounding tissues). Nodules with scores of 1, 2 and 3 were considere… Show more
