Ultrasonography (US) is the single-most valuable imaging modality in the evaluation of the thyroid gland. This review discusses the US appearances of thyroid nodules, emphasizing sonographic features associated with potentially malignant or, at the other end of the spectrum, likely benign nodules. Diffuse thyroid abnormalities have also been reviewed. The technique of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy and the emerging role of elastography in characterizing thyroid nodules have also been addressed.
超声检查(US)是评估甲状腺时最有价值的单一成像方式。本综述讨论了甲状腺结节的超声表现,重点强调与潜在恶性或(在另一端)可能为良性结节相关的超声特征。还对弥漫性甲状腺异常进行了综述。此外,还探讨了超声引导下细针穿刺活检技术以及弹性成像在甲状腺结节特征描述中的新兴作用。
