摘要
本文旨在强调超声弹性成像和对比增强超声在诊断、分期和治疗后反应随访方面的综合作用。对比度增强超声(CEUS)和超声弹性成像是传统 US 的自然延伸,它们创造了新的机遇,促进了多参数超声在甲状腺结节特征描述、风险分层、选择需要进行细针抽吸(FNA)的结节、管理和随访细胞学不确定的结节、评估术前预后特征和治疗效率等方面的应用。
Role of Ultrasound Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in Diagnosis and Management of Malignant Thyroid Nodules-An Update.
The aim of this paper is to highlight the combined role of ultrasound elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in terms of diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of the post-treatment response. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and ultrasound elastography are natural extensions of conventional USs that have created new opportunities, facilitating the implementation of multiparametric ultrasounds in the characterization of thyroid nodules, in risk stratification, and in the selection of nodules that request Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), management, and follow-up of the nodules with indeterminate cytology, evaluation of pre-operative prognostic features, and treatment efficiency.

期刊介绍:
Diagnostics (ISSN 2075-4418) is an international scholarly open access journal on medical diagnostics. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications and short notes on the research and development of medical diagnostics. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodological details must be provided for research articles.
