The increasing use of ultrasound (US) for the diagnostic workup of thyroid lesions has subsequently been met with an increasing demand for effective US and US-guided fine-needle aspiration models. Although numerous do-it-yourself phantoms have been previously described, to our knowledge, this is the first to describe a more realistic US thyroid model using inexpensive consumer-grade materials. A simple phantom was developed and successfully used to obtain US images that realistically mimic thyroid anatomy and echogenicity. The phantom was constructed for a total cost of $6.69. It served as an inexpensive and anatomically realistic means to simulate thyroid US and US-guided fine-needle aspiration.
超声（US）在甲状腺病变诊断检查中的使用日益增加，随之而来的是对有效的超声及超声引导下细针穿刺模型的需求不断增长。尽管此前已经描述了许多自制模型，但据我们所知，这是首次使用廉价的消费级材料描述一种更逼真的甲状腺超声模型。我们开发了一种简单的模型，并成功用于获取逼真模拟甲状腺解剖结构和回声的超声图像。该模型的总成本为6.69美元。它是一种廉价且解剖结构逼真的手段，用于模拟甲状腺超声及超声引导下细针穿刺。
