A thyroid ultrasound is a very simple, non-intrusive test that only takes about 10 minutes. It uses sound waves to image the thyroid. A lubricant jelly is placed on the skin and a small hand-held transducer is passed over the thyroid. The ultrasound will show any change in gland size an...
More Prudent Interpretation of Thyroid Ultrasound Could Reduce Unnecessary BiopsiesCharlotte Bath
et al. Accurate interpretation of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy: should we continue to use published guidelines instead of population-based gestation-specific reference intervals for the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)?. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 22, 271 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884...
To evaluate the association between thyroid echogenicity and heterogeneity seen on ultrasonography (US) and thyroid function in pediatric and adolescent populations with autoimmune diffuse thyroid diseases (AITD). From 2000 to 2020, we reviewed thyroid ultrasound (US) images and thyroid function statuses ...
Ultrasound three-dimensional visualization, a cutting-edge technology in medical imaging, enhances diagnostic accuracy by providing a more comprehensive and readable portrayal of anatomical structures compared to traditional two-dimensional ultrasound. C
Following Thyroid Nodules with Ultrasound by Jeffrey Dach MD Don’t Fall for the thyroid nodule trap. Yesterday, a mother and her 18 year old daughter came into the office for the daughter’s low thyroid condition. She had just come from an endocrinologist’s office where they discovered a ...
Background: The American College of Radiology (ACR) TI-RADS is a standardized scoring system for thyroid ultrasound reports providing recommendations on the need for fine needle aspirations (FNAs) independent of patient presentation. Aim: The aim of this audit was to determine if the initial prese...
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 aiming at efficient and effective computer-aided detection of thyroid nodules. The proposed scheme ...
[169]. Meanwhile, PET/MRI is a promising tool with great potential to provide complementary data obtained under the same time and conditions. Diagnosis of thyroid nodules by conventional ultrasound relies on image quality, neck coverage, and ultrasound interpretation [170]. The current gold standard...
Using the GePaRD database (claims data from ~ 20% of the German population), we determined the annual age-specific and age-standardized prevalence of the use of thyroid diagnostics (thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) measurement, thyroid ultrasound, scintiscan, biopsy) and treatment (medication,...
