Predicting risk of malignancy in patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules
Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine cancer (1). The prevalence of palpable thyroid nodules in the general adult population is 4% to 7% (2). Ultrasound imaging detects thyroid nodules in 19%-68% of randomly selected individuals (3). The rate of thyroid cancer in nodules found on US is 4% …

A study to determine the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid nodules at two tertiary hospitals in Zambia: a cross-sectional study
Introduction Thyroid nodules are one of the common surgical presentations in Africa and are of great concern because of their potential to be malignant. Zambia is not excluded from these common surgical conditions, and they are noted in patients referred to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) …

Discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules in real-time using a novel probe with an integrated elastic scattering spectroscopy biopsy syringe
Background. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. The current standard of diagnosis, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) yields indeterminate results for approximately 10–25% of biopsies, necessitating thyroidectomy for diagnosis. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a …

Immunohistochemical Markers and Ultrasound Elastography - New Diagnostic Options in the Assessment of Thyroid Nodules // Имунохистохимични маркери и ултразвукова еластография - нови диагностични възможности в уточняването на тиреоидните възли
Целта на проучването е да оцени предиктивната стойност на някои ултразвукови, еластографски, цитоморфологични и имунохистохимични характеристики в диференциалната диагноза на тиреодните възли. Проспективно са изследвани 1483 пациента с възлеста струма. Събраните данни сочат, че тънкоиглената …

NODULI TIROIDEI NELL'ACROMEGALIA: RUOLO DELL'ELASTOSONOGRAFIA
… to be a helpful tool for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. In acromegaly multinodular goiter is a common occurrence while the prevalence of thyroid cancer is still debated. Aims were to evaluate thyroid nodules in acromegaly and to establish the accuracy of US-E in providing information on …

In vivo and ex vivo techniques using elastic scattering spectroscopy for diagnosis of malignancy in the thyroid gland
OBJECTIVE: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy and patients presenting with thyroid nodules often undergo surgery solely for diagnostic purposes. The goal of our study was to examine the accuracy of Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS) in distinguishing between benign and …

Diagnostic yield of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (US-guided FNAB) and post-surgical histopathological correlation of thyroid nodules in the Department of Radiology, Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa over a two-year period
Background: Nodular thyroid disease is common worldwide, and the incidence of thyroid nodules is increasing globally. Ultrasound (US)-guided thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a reliable and cost-effective method of distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules before …

Quantitative Pertechnetate Thyroid Scintigraphy and the Ultrasonographic Appearance of the Thyroid Gland in Clinically Normal Horses
… scintigraphic and sonographic appearance of the thyroid gland in clinically normal horses so these modalities could be used to assess the thyroid gland in this species. Horses were divided into two age groups. Group A consisted of 8 horses between 3 and 10 years of age and Group B of 7 horses …

Towards force-correlated ultrasound volume elastography
… correlates with tissue stiffness, such as thyroid nodules or liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Our method, unlike the inherently localized needle biopsy, allows for the assessment of tissue over a broad volume, potentially improving reliability and repeatability in diagnosing and staging …

L'introduzione di due nuovi parametri nella diagnostica per immagini dei noduli tiroidei ad incerto potenziale di malignità migliora l'accuratezza diagnostica nell'identificazione delle neoplasie tiroidee.
Obiettivo: I noduli tiroidei diagnosticati come proliferazione follicolare (TIR3B) all’agobiopsia tiroidea hanno un rilevante rischio di malignità (15-30%), ma il ricorso alla chirurgia risulterà non necessario nella maggior parte dei casi. Il presente studio ha lo scopo di valutare il possibile …
