Ultrasonic calcification type value for the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules of calcification

Objective Ultrasonic of calcification type value of thyroid nodules of calcification in the diagnosis of benign and malignant. Methods Selection of ultasound examination in our hospital found thyroid nodules with calcification, after thyroid nodule patients in our hospital surgical operation treatment and definite pathological diagnosis, aclassified according to morphology ,size of calcification. It was divided into 4 types: type 1,micro-calcification ; type 2, Dot patchy calcification; type 3,linear or curved calcification ; type 4,calcification in the cystic nodule,mainly cystic.Comparison of different types of pathological calcification nodules final parting with benign and malignant relationship. Results The proportion of type 1 in malignant nodules of calcification were much higher than those of benign nodules ; No significant difference between the proportion of type 2 in benign and malignant nodules of calcification;3 types of calcified nodules benign tendency towards; 4 types benign nodules of calcification . Conclusion Ultrasound examination of thyroid nodules of calcification calcification type and the benign and maligant nodules with correlation, can be used as an important reference index for clinical diagonsis and treatment.
