The Diagnostic Performance of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elasticity Imaging to Differentiate Malignant from Benign Thyroid Nodules: Comparison with Conventional B-Mode Sonographic Findings

The Diagnostic Performance of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elasticity Imaging to Differentiate Malignant from Benign Thyroid Nodules: Comparison with Conventional B-Mode Sonographic Findings

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elasticity imaging. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty-seven thyroid nodules were examined by both ARFI elastography and B-mode sonography. Virtual Touch tissue quan...
