We undertook this study to establish whether thyroid diseases influence colour-coded Duplex sonography of cerebral arteries and whether colour-coded Duplex sonography is superior to B-mode sonography in detecting pathological changes of the thyroid.
In 154 patients the thyroid gland as well as the cerebral arteries were examined by colour-coded Duplex sonography.
In 13% of the examined carotid arteries, stenosis or occlusion was detected. Thyroid diseases were found in 21% of the examined patients. In patients with a goitre, carotid arteries were often severely displaced and thyroid vessels exhibited a low resistance waveform, easily to be confused with cerebral arteries. Colour-coded Duplex sonography provides useful information on thyroid vascularisation: however, differentiation between different types of thyroid nodules seems impossible.
Investigation of the thyroid gland during colour-coded Duplex sonography of neck vessels is easy to perform. It is not time-consuming and may yield useful additional information that may help to explain the patient's complaints.
我们进行这项研究是为了确定甲状腺疾病是否会影响脑动脉彩色编码双功超声检查，以及彩色编码双功超声检查在检测甲状腺病理变化方面是否优于B型超声检查。
对154例患者进行了甲状腺及脑动脉的彩色编码双功超声检查。
在检查的颈动脉中，13%检测到狭窄或闭塞。在21%的受检患者中发现了甲状腺疾病。患有甲状腺肿的患者，颈动脉常严重移位，甲状腺血管呈现低阻力波形，容易与脑动脉混淆。彩色编码双功超声检查可提供有关甲状腺血管形成的有用信息：然而，似乎无法区分不同类型的甲状腺结节。
在颈部血管彩色编码双功超声检查期间对甲状腺进行检查易于操作。它不耗时，可能会产生有助于解释患者症状的有用额外信息。
