Ultrasound is an ideal imaging modality for detection and assessment of thyroid cancer because it is widely available and is highly sensitive for both detection and characterization of thyroid nodules due to improvements in transducer technology. It does not involve ionizing radiation and can be ...
ultrasound feature has the highest accuracy in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid lesions, the combination of several ultrasound characteristics (e.g. hypoechogenicity, irregular borders and microcalcifications) within such thyroid nodules may have a stronger correlation for thyroid cancer. ...
thyroid cancer were compared.Results For the 27 cases,the coincident rate of ultrasound with pathology was 51.85%(14/27),while for the cases having small lesion(1.5cm),the coincident rate was 38.9%(7/18).Conclusion Ultrasound has lower diagnostic value for thyroid cancer especially for small ...
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, more frequently diagnosed in young women during childbearing age and approximately 10% of all thyroid cancers are diagnosed during pregnancy or in the early post-partum period. Thyroid cancer in young people has generally an excellent prognosis,...
This chapter provides an overview of thyroid ultrasound. Thyroid ultrasound can be used to determine thyroid size, to detect anatomic variations in the thyroid, to identify extrathyroidal masses, and to screen for endemic goiter. However, it is in the diagnosis and management of thyroid cancer ...

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy with relatively good prognosis in children. However, unlike adults, children usually present with more advanced disease and have a higher local recurrence and distant metastases. Thus surveillance for recurrence is a major goal of long-term follow...
Thyroid nodules are small lumps that form within the thyroid gland and are quite common in the general population, with a prevalence as high as 67%. The great majority of thyroid nodules are not cancerous and cause no symptoms. However, there are currently limited guidelines on what to do ...
of a variety of cancers and benign lesions, including thyroid nodules, hepatic and renal tumors, prostate cancer, bone tumors and uterine fibroids. In the future, the overall comparison of these methods to surgery are needed in randomized clinic...
