The aim of this study was to present the normal thyroid volumes of Budapest school-children (from central- and confine-districts). Real-time ultrasound instrument was used in study of 1328 children. Authors applied the method of Brunn et al. to calculate the size of every single thyroid lobes. Percentile curves of thyroid volumes were prepared on the basis of the results in both sexes and age between 6 and 14 years. Authors refer to the correlation between size of thyroid and (changing) body measurements according to the age and sexes. The frequency of symptomless abnormalities is mentioned in this population supporting the usefulness of thyroid sonography as a screening method.
本研究的目的是呈现布达佩斯学童（来自市中心区和周边地区）的正常甲状腺体积。对1328名儿童进行研究时使用了实时超声仪器。作者采用布伦恩等人的方法来计算每个甲状腺叶的大小。根据6至14岁男女的研究结果绘制了甲状腺体积的百分位数曲线。作者提及了甲状腺大小与根据年龄和性别变化的身体测量值之间的相关性。文中提到了该人群中无症状异常的发生率，支持了甲状腺超声检查作为一种筛查方法的实用性。
