Twenty‐seven subjects (73%) had nodules or heterogeneous thyroid echotexture. Subjects with nodular goitre had a longer duration of acromegaly than those with homogeneous glands (12.1±5.7 vs 7.6±4.0 years, P =0.032). Those with nodular glands also had larger goitres than those with ...
Familiarity with the appearance of the normal thyroid gland and its surrounding structures enables an appreciation of thyroid pathology. The normal thyroid gland in the low midline neck is readily identified by its homogeneous gray appearance (Fig.1). The thyroid isthmus appears crescent-shaped as it...
The enlarged gland should be soft and homogeneous in texture and nontender to palpation. Unless symptoms of thyroid disease are present, this clinical finding does not require thyroid hormone testing. Women with a thyroid mass, in contrast, should have thyroid function testing, an ultrasound scan ...
anatomy, and parenchymal abnormalities2,16. On US, healthy thyroid gland echogenicity is homogeneous and higher than that of the surrounding muscle17. AITD patients’ thyroids present differently, with characteristic US findings such as variable degrees of thyroid gland enlargement,...
Power Doppler image showed rich blood signals (arrow) in the tumor (A). CEUS image showed diffuse and homogeneous enhancement (arrow) across the whole lesion (B). Parametric map showed that the nodule was in yellow and red (arrow), which indicates hyperenhancement with respect to adjacent ...
Eystratios G. Keramidas Lecture Notes in Computer Science Aug 2007 36被引用 0笔记 共1个版本 摘要原文 Ultrasound imaging of thyroid gland provides the ability to acquire valuable information for medical diagnosis. This study presents a novel scheme for the analysis of longitudinal ultrasound images ...
In the case of high contrast appearing in the image Ls as well as in the case of low contrast and homogeneous pixel values, the distance of the center of gravity from the origin of coordinates does not change, and so the value of the feature w(5). The range of contrast in different ...
It has higher echodensity than the neck muscles. The structure of the glandular tissue is homogeneous. Individual color spots in thyroid parenchyma are normally detected with CDI and PDI. They may be of various sizes and are usually rather symmetric with a relatively uniform distribution. The ...
There was enlargement of one or both lobes of the thyroid, a high echogenicity approaching that of the surrounding connective tissue, and a very fine homogeneous echotexture similar to ground glass appearance. Four patients showed dilated follicles in the thyroid gland. The other two patients had ...
As shown in Figure 5A, the thyroid glands in the NC group showed a homogeneous appearance, while those in the HF group presented an enlarged thyroid with lower echotexture and relatively heterogeneous features. In addi- tion, the thyroid volumes of either an individual or the total lobe as ...
