Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Epidemiology studies suggest that nodular thyroid disease is a common clinical problem.Palpable thyroid nodules occur in about 5% of the population.Approximately 14.9% of thyroid nodules are cancerous.The role for ultrasound(US)in the assessment of nodular thyroid disease has increased in recent years.Fine-needle aspiration(FNA)biopsy of the thyroid gland is an accurate diagnostic test used in the initial evaluation of nodular thyroid disease.In this paper,the application of ultrasonography and FNA in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules was introduced.
