An ultrasound of the neck performed in the endocrine clinic showed a well- defined heterogeneous, isoechoic nodule, greater than 6.5 cm x 4 cm x 5.5 cm, in an otherwise normal thyroid gland ...

Telling the difference between benign and cancerous thyroid nodules before surgery is notoriously challenging, but a new study finds that a combination of artificial intelligence and data analysis ...

The thyroid ultrasound showed the ring of calcification had not changed from the prior exam, but a 4.8-cm very hypoechoic mass with indistinct margins surrounded the calcification was observed .

Thyroid nodules are lumps that can develop on the thyroid gland. They may be solid and look dark on an ultrasound scan. Most are benign, but there is a low risk of thyroid cancer.

Current guidelines recommend serial ultrasound examinations and repeat cytology exam if significant ... Improving the Long-term Management of Benign Thyroid Nodules. JAMA, 2015; 313 (9): 903 DOI ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation, or echotherapy, of symptomatic but benign solid thyroid nodules is an emerging technology, available in a few clinics in Europe.

Thyroid ultrasounds can also pick up on benign thyroid abnormalities. Doctors will take care when interpreting ultrasound images, and they may recommend further testing to confirm a diagnosis ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to identify thyroid nodules seen on thyroid ultrasound that are very unlikely to be cancerous, reducing a large number of unnecessary biopsies, according ...

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules is safe enough and works well enough for use in the NHS. Before this procedure is used, the thyroid nodule must be ...

What is a thyroid ultrasound? Ultrasound is high-frequency sound that is generated electronically by a machine and special crystals in a probe. The sound travels through your body, and bounces off ...
