“…65 Due to the decrease in transducer size, research was started into the possibility of "stitching" ultrasound volumes together in order to manage large thyroid volumes and it was found to be feasible for a 2D tomographic and 3D mechanically swept transducer, although further research is required. 66,67 Single positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT)/US fusion imaging is also possible when using 3D US volumes. 68 A recent study studied a 2D, 3D mechanically swept and a 3D matrix transducer, and found the 3D matrix transducer to outperform the others when estimating the volume of a phantom nodule.…”

Ultrasound, the primary imaging modality in thyroid nodule management, suffers from drawbacks including: high inter-and intra-observer variability, limited field-of-view and limited functional imaging. Developments in ultrasound technologies are taking place to overcome these limitations, including three-dimensional-Doppler, -elastography, -nodule characteristics-extraction, and novel machine-learning algorithms. For thyroid ablative treatments and biopsies, perioperative use of three-dimensional ultrasound opens a new field of research. This review provides an overview of the current and future applications of ultrasound, and discusses the potential of new developments and trends that may improve the diagnosis, therapy, and follow-up of thyroid nodules.
