Real-time ultrasound elastography evaluation of the thyroid gland in adolescent patients with hashimoto thyroiditis
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the values of strain index ratio as measured by real-time ultrasound elastography in healthy subjects and in adolescent patients with Hashimoto Thyroiditis (HT). Our aim is also to determine cut-off value of strain index ratio, obtain reference values and evaluate if we can use this values in diagnosis and follow-up. Material and methods: A ...
متن کاملUtility of Shear Wave Elastography for Diagnosing Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis
The aims of this study were to evaluate the utility of shear wave elastography (SWE) using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) for diagnosing chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) and to verify the effect of fibrotic thyroid tissue on shear wave velocity (SWV). The subjects were 229 patients with 253 normal thyroid lobes (controls) and 150 CAT lobes. The SWV for CAT (2.47 ± 0.57 m/s) was sig...
متن کاملThe role of shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis.
AIMS The aim of this study is to assess the applicability of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the diagnosis of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group consisted of 50 patients with first-diagnosed CAT and 40 control subjects (CS). In all patients with CAT and CS, sonoelastographic measurements were made in both thyroid lobes. Optimal cut-off values ...
متن کاملReal-time quasi-static ultrasound elastography.
Ultrasound elastography is a technique used for clinical imaging of tissue stiffness with a conventional ultrasound machine. It was first proposed two decades ago, but active research continues in this area to the present day. Numerous clinical applications have been investigated, mostly related to cancer imaging, and though these have yet to prove conclusive, the technique has seen increasing ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the differentiation of malignant and benign thyroid nodules with coexistent Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary general hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS From September 2012 to January 2014, conventional ultrasound and SWE were performed on 243 patients ...
