The diagnostic value of elastography score and strain index for the evaluation of thyroid micronodules

TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2018
Background/aim: In the general population, the frequency of thyroid micronodules is increasing, and the prevalence of malignancy is higher for such nodules. Ultrasonography findings of these nodules are neither specific nor sensitive. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of elastography in patients with thyroid micronodules ...

Evaluating the role of strain ratio elastography in determining malignancy potential and calculating objective BIRADS US scores using ultrasonography and elastography features [PDF]

Polish Journal of Radiology, 2018
PurposeThe aims of this study were, firstly, to evaluate solid breast masses based on their malignancy potential and to determine whether the strain elastography ratio (SER) can contribute to classical grey-scale ultrasonography findings, and secondly, to define objective BIRADS US scores using ultrasound (US) and SER findings.Material and methodsA ...

Acoustic radiation force impulse elastography and liver fibrosis risk scores in severe obesity

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Identifying significant fibrosis is crucial to evaluate the prognosis and therapeutic interventions in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We assessed the performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography, APRI, FIB-4, Forns, NFS and BARD scores in determining liver fibrosis in severe obesity.A prospective study ...

Combination of 18F-FDG PET/CT and convex probe endobronchial ultrasound elastography for intrathoracic malignant and benign lymph nodes prediction

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundPositron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) and convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) elastography are important diagnostic methods in predicting intrathoracic lymph nodes (LNs) metastasis, but a joint analysis of the ...

Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART ...
