Multiparametric Sonographic Imaging of Thyroid Lesions: Chances of B-Mode, Elastography and CEUS in Relation to Preoperative Histopathology

Abstract: Background: The aim was to improve preoperative diagnostics of solid non-cystic thyroid lesions by using new high-performance multiparametric ultrasound examination techniques. Methods: Multiparametric ultrasound consists of B-mode, shear-wave elastography and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) including Time-Intensity-Curve (TIC) analysis. A bolus of 1–2.4 mL Sulfur Hexafluorid microbubbles was injected for CEUS. Postoperative histopathology was the diagnostic gold standard. Results: 116 patients were includ… Show more

“…The low specificity of ultrasound features for classifying thyroid nodules leads to unnecessary FNABs; therefore, new imaging modalities with special attention to anarchical angiogenesis observed in malignancy are of paramount importance in the characterization of nodules. The addition of strain elastography [ 7 , 8 ], shear wave elastography [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], and multimodality ultrasound combining B-mode ultrasound, elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) [ 14 ] relatively increased the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound.…”

“…Qualitativ spricht vor allem eine im Vergleich zum umgebenden Drüsengewebe geringere Anreicherung mit inhomogener Kontrastmittelaufnahme für eine Malignität [26,30,33,31]. Weitere malignitätssuspekte Befunde einer Schilddrüsenläsion sind eine schnelle, unregelmäßige Hypervaskularisation beginnend in der Peripherie sowie ein unregelmäßiges, frühes Wash-out insbesondere der hypervaskularisierten Tumorränder (▶ Abb.…”
