Abstract

Objective To estimate the application value of two-dimension and color Doppler flow image(CDFI) in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Method Total 80 patients(105 thyroid nodules) proved by pathology,which were examined by preoperative 2D ultrasound and CDFI.Results Of all cases,70 nodules were benign and 35 nodules were malignant.The accuracy rate was 87.62%.Conclusion 2D and color Doppler flow image could be applied to differential diagnosis between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
