Thyroid gland size was calculated from grey-scale ultrasound images in twenty patients with goitre. Results were compared with measurements by palpation and in some cases with measurements by scintiscan and at operation. There was a good correlation between ultrasound measurements and both the size of surgical specimens and clinicians' estimations, although clinicians under-estimated the size of large (greater than 40 ml) goitres compared with ultrasound and surgical specimens. Gland size calculated from scintiscan did not correspond well with measurements by ultrasound or palpation.
对20例甲状腺肿患者的甲状腺大小进行了灰阶超声图像测量。将结果与触诊测量结果进行比较，在某些情况下还与闪烁扫描测量结果及手术测量结果进行比较。超声测量结果与手术标本大小和临床医生的估计值之间存在良好的相关性，尽管与超声和手术标本相比，临床医生低估了大（大于40毫升）甲状腺肿的大小。闪烁扫描计算出的腺体大小与超声或触诊测量结果不太相符。
