High-resolution real-time ultrasonography was used to evaluate 98 patients with palpable abnormalities of the thyroid and positive isotopic studies. It confirmed 37 of 73 (51%) suspected solitary nodules. Of 25 patients thought to have multinodular goiter, sonography was supportive in 21 (84%). In patients with adenoma or adenomatous nodules, characteristic features included a sonolucent "halo". Colloid nodules tended to be more sonolucent than normal thyroid tissue, whereas Hashimoto thyroiditis was characterized by an enlarged gland and decreased echogenicity.
采用高分辨率实时超声检查对98例甲状腺可触及异常且同位素检查呈阳性的患者进行评估。在73例疑似单发结节中，超声检查确诊了37例（51%）。在25例被认为患有结节性甲状腺肿的患者中，超声检查支持诊断的有21例（84%）。腺瘤或腺瘤性结节患者的特征性表现包括无回声“晕环”。胶样结节往往比正常甲状腺组织更呈无回声，而桥本甲状腺炎的特征是腺体增大且回声减弱。
