Accurate differentiation of focal thyroid nodules (FTL) and thyroid abnormalities is pivotal for proper diagnostic and therapeutic work-up. In these two part articles, the role of ultrasound techniques in the characterization of FTL and evaluation of diffuse thyroid diseases is described to expand on the recently published World Federation in Ultrasound and Medicine (WFUMB) thyroid elastography guidelines and review how this guideline fits into a complete thyroid ultrasound exam.
准确区分局灶性甲状腺结节（FTL）和甲状腺异常对于正确的诊断和治疗评估至关重要。在这两篇文章中，将描述超声技术在FTL特征描述和弥漫性甲状腺疾病评估中的作用，以进一步阐述最近发布的世界超声医学与生物学联合会（WFUMB）甲状腺弹性成像指南，并回顾该指南如何融入完整的甲状腺超声检查。
