Value of Color Doppler Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Thyroid Diseases

Ying Wang

Abstract

Objective:To study the value of color doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases.Methods:Of 578 cases with thyroid diseases including benign lesion (n=504),thyroid carcinoma (n=31),the color doppler sonographic characteristics were correlated with the pathological diagnosis and analyzed retrospectively.Results:The diagnostic accuracy for benign thyroid diseases was 92.1% (504/547),for malignant thyroid diseases was 83.9% (26/31) respectively.Conclusion:Two-dimension ultrasonographic features,combined with color doppler and pulse doppler parameters,correct diagnosis of thyroid lesions could be obtained.
