Brief Title: Patients Who Underwent Thyroid Ultrasonography at Our Institution Were Selected for Shear Wave Elastography of Thyroid Nodules, and the Maximum and Mean Values of the Modulus of Elasticity of the Nodules in Transverse and Longitudinal Sections Were Analyzed.
Official Title: Influence of Section Orientation of Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography on the Measurement of Thyroid Nodules Stiffness
Study ID: NCT06007859
Brief Summary: The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the effect of transverse and longitudinal sections on the measurement of thyroid nodule stiffness by shear wave elastography. The main questions it aims to answer are: (i) to compare the diagnostic efficacy of different section orientations of shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules; (ii) to analyze the correlation between the two orientations of transverse and longitudinal sections of shear wave elastography; and (iii) to compare the reliability and consistency of the two orientations of transverse and longitudinal sections of shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Participants will undergo routine ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland and shear wave elastography, and the measured modulus of elasticity of the nodules in both transverse and longitudinal sections will be recorded.
