Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for Differentiation of Thyroid Nodules
BACKGROUND Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)-Imaging is an ultrasound-based elastography method enabling quantitative measurement of tissue stiffness. The aim of the present study was to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of ARFI-imaging for differentiation of thyroid nodules and to compare it to the well evaluated qualitative real-time elastography (RTE). METHODS ARFI-imaging involve...

AIM To investigate the diagnostic performance of shear wave velocity (SWV) using virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) technology in differentiating malignant and benign thyroid nodules by conducting a meta-analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Cochrane library, Embase, Pubmed, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies through De...
متن کاملVirtual Touch Tissue Quantification of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse: A New Ultrasound Elastic Imaging in the Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules
OBJECTIVE Virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a new quantitative technique to measure tissue stiffness. The study was aimed to assess the usefulness of VTQ in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. METHODS 173 pathologically proven thyroid nodules in 142 patients were included and all were examined by conventional ultrasound (US), conventional el...

PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ARFI imaging in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules <1 cm. MATERIALS AND METHODS 173 pathologically proven thyroid nodules (77 benign, 96 malignant) in 157 patients were included in this study. Receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic performance of conventional ult...
