High Resolution Sonographic Evaluation of Thyroid Lesion
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim and Objective - To evaluate the role of USG as primary modality in thyroid disorders and validity of the USG diagnosis in relation to FNAC diagnosis either palpation or USG guided. Methods and Materials-The patients referred to our department from Sept 2013 to Aug 2015 having suspected thyroid diseases were included in the study. USG was done using high resolution linear probe (mHZ 7.0-11.0) of HD-7 machine. the patients were then subjected to FNAC for confirmation. The USG finding were correlated with the FNAC finding and accuracy there in was found out. Results- USG shows a relatively high sensitivity (98%) and specificity (96%) for diagnosing and characterising the thyroid lesions both benign and malignant. Conclusion- USG can be used as primary imaging modality for evaluation of thyroid lesions as compared with FNAC as well as characterising the benign and malignant lesions
