Three-dimensional ultrasound could be included in thyroid cancer databases

Aim: Despite numerous studies and the development of guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules, the management of thyroid carcinoma has yet to be optimized. An optimal management strategy for thyroid incidentalomas could be developed using an evidence-based approach in which systematic evaluation of obtained data, stored in national databases, would be used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of 3D gray-scale and power Doppler ultrasound in evaluation and archiving of thyroid nodules. Method: 1: The retrospective evaluation of volumes of 71 thyroid nodules…
