Can the unnecessary operations for suspected thyroid nodules be avoided by the combined use of the strain ratio and elastography score? [PDF]
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol, 2021 Introduction: Only 5%–15% of thyroid surgical specimens are reported as malignant. Most of the operations are performed due to suspicion of malignancy as a result of fine needle aspiration biopsy but invasiveness, non-diagnostic results and potential ...
