Diagnostic Performances of Various Gray-Scale, Color Doppler, and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography Findings in Predicting Malignant Thyroid Nodules

Abstract

The ring enhancement and homogeneity of enhancement of thyroid nodules on CEUS and the microcalcification and halo on GSUS were the four most valuable indicators in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Conjoint analysis of specific features of thyroid nodules on GSUS and CEUS could enhance the diagnostic value of thyroid nodules.
