This study has attempted to establish normal values for the pediatric thyroid gland volume. The real-time ultrasound images of the thyroid gland in 300 healthy children were prospectively analyzed to determine the normal thyroid gland volume. The volume was calculated assuming each lobe of the thyroid gland to be a prolate ellipsoid. The thyroid gland volume was correlated with height, weight, body surface area, and age. Mean thyroid gland volume as a function of height was obtained. No significant difference was observed between males and females in each height group.
本研究试图建立小儿甲状腺体积的正常值。前瞻性分析了300名健康儿童甲状腺的实时超声图像，以确定甲状腺的正常体积。假设甲状腺的每个叶为长椭圆形来计算体积。将甲状腺体积与身高、体重、体表面积和年龄进行相关性分析。得出了平均甲状腺体积随身高变化的函数关系。在每个身高组中，男性和女性之间未观察到显著差异。
