Ultrasonography of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands

Abstract: High-frequency ultrasonography is ideally suited to imaging of the thyroid and parathyroid glands by virtue of their superficial location in the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid is most commonly used in the evaluation of the solitary nodule. Ultrasonography of the parathyroid glands is usually performed to evaluate and localise parathyroid abnormalities in patients with hypercalcemia. The increased diagnostic acumen offered by this modality allows a realistic working diagnosis and leads to a rational manag… Show more

“…Histopathologically, thyroid calcification is divided into "psammoma body" and "dystrophic calcifications". In particular, psammoma body on ultrasonography is generally accepted as the most reliable indicator for malignancy (19). Dense calcification is seen in 10% of all thyroid nodules (20) and these fndings are associated with multinodular goiter (21 …”

“…It is generally defined as a peripheral hypoechoic rim around a nodule, which has been suggested to represent either a capsule or compressed thyroid tissue or vessels [20]. It is widely accepted as a benign sonographic feature [13,17].…”

“…On the other hand, ultrasonographic fi ndings of thyroid cancers are well described in literature. Calcifi cation, irregular shape, solid hypoechogenity, absence of halo, intranodular hypervascularity and changing margin (blurred or ill-defi ned), alone or in combination of two or more are reported as predictive factors of thyroid cancers (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”
