Sonoelastography study in differentiation of thyroid nodules
Introduction
Sonoelastography is a new technology that allows for a better morphological evaluation in different fields. There are reports of sonoelastography clinical benefits in breast evaluation, but to our knowledge there are no clinical reports of different applications using sonoelastography in thyroid nodule evaluation. This paper will discuss the potential value of sonoelastography for the better characterization of thyroid nodules and present a series of cases demonstrating its clinical benefits.
