Added Value of Superb Microvascular Imaging and Virtual Touch Imaging Quantification in Assisting Thyroid Cancer Classification

Added Value of Superb Microvascular Imaging and Virtual Touch Imaging Quantification in Assisting Thyroid Cancer Classification

This prospective study determined the value added by superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and Virtual Touch imaging quantification (VTIQ) to conventional ultrasonography in classifying malignant and benign thyroid nodules. One hundred eighty-three thyroid nodules (TNs) in 120 patients (112 benign and...
