Abstract
Thyroid nodules are common and often asymptomatic. However, patients may seek treatment for nonfunctional benign nodules that cause compressive symptoms or cosmetic problems. Additionally, many patients with autonomously functioning nodules also seek treatment. As minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques become more wide spread, providers offering these treatments should be familiar with the pathophysiology of thyroid nodules, and with how to work up a patient with nodular thyroid disease.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
