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...
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 ...
Results: A total of 213 patients with goiter diagnosed by USG scan were obtained over the study period. The mean age of the participants was 50.01 +/- 17.27 years, with an age range of 16-92 years and females constituting the majority (82.16%). The commonest ultrasound features were...
If your test results or physical exam of the thyroid are abnormal, your doctor may order athyroid ultrasound, or thyroid scan, to check for nodules or inflammation. Hypothyroidism Treatment If you have hypothyroidism, your doctor will prescribe a synthetic (human-made) thyroid hormone T4. You ta...
Results System design for autonomous ultrasound imaging The robotic scanning procedure comprises four phases, mirroring the clinical workflow: thyroid searching (TS), in-plane scanning (IPS), out-of-plane scanning (OPS), and multi-view scanning (MVS), as depicted in Fig.1a. An overview of our...

Information on specific genetic alterations obtained from FNA may help inform individualized treatment of patients with a positive test result. Introduction Thyroid nodules are common, with as many as two-thirds of adults harboring nodules detectable by ultrasound and about 5% by palpation.1,2 ...
Brightness-mode US is currently the most accurate imaging test to evaluate solitary thyroid nodules or multinodular goiters. Thyroid US results in improved management for patients, with clinical findings suggestive of thyroid nodules. Many patients either have a palpable but not suspicious nodule, or ...
Currently, we are directing therapeutic strategy based on the results of fine-needle aspiration biopsy defined by the Bethesda classification. The TI-RADS classification of ultrasound features can help surgeons to estimate the risk of ma... N Chereau,F Ménégaux,J Bertin - 《British Journal of ...
Objective To explore the necessity of high frequency color ultrasound examination for physical examination. Methods The results of high frequency color ultrasound for 479 cases of physical examination were analyzed between May 2009 and Apr. 2010 in our center. Results 2 cases of thyroid cancer was ...
