Ultrasonography of the thyroid gland permits differentiation between cystic, solid, and mixed lesions, allowing conservative management of cystic lesions, which constitute 20% of hypofunctioning nodules. The combination of ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology appears to be a great advance in the preoperative diagnosis of nontoxic goiter and permits individualized treatment in as precise a manner as is possible at present.
甲状腺超声检查能够区分囊性、实性和混合性病变,从而对囊性病变采取保守治疗,囊性病变占功能减退性结节的20%。超声检查与细针穿刺细胞学检查相结合,似乎是在非毒性甲状腺肿术前诊断方面的一大进步,并且能够尽可能精确地进行个体化治疗。
