“…CFDS pattern and PSV values were determined in the extra‐nodular tissue, thus avoiding the variations of blood flow and pattern due to thyroid nodules (Barreda et al ., 1991). Our previous studies (Bogazzi et al ., 1999a) supported the concept that stimulation of TSH receptor by TSH or TRAb, irrespective of serum thyroid hormone levels, is associated with an increase in thyroid vascularity.…”

“…It is worth noting that all patients enrolled in the present study had undetectable serum TRAb, thus ruling out the possibility that the increase in thyroid vascularity could be related to TSH receptor activation by abnormal stimulators. CFDS pattern and PSV values were determined in the extranodular tissue, thus avoiding the variations of blood flow and pattern due to thyroid nodules (28,29). One important methodological aspect of our study is that all ultrasound and Doppler measurements were performed by a single observer, thus avoiding the interobserver variability.…”

“…US is the tech-Correspondence to: C. M. Pacella nique of choice both for guiding the needle inside the AFTN to be treated and for monitoring ethanol diffusion within the lesion. In recent years, however, colourcoded duplex sonography (CCDS) has become available in most diagnostic departments and seems to increase the accuracy of US scan of the thyroid [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. As has been demonstrated in experimental studies and in operative specimens from humans, alcohol produces tissue damage by both a direct coagulative necrosis and a partial or complete small vessel thrombosis.…”
