Fig. 3From: Conventional ultrasound, color Doppler, TI-RADS, and shear wave elastography for thyroid nodule differentiation: a study of efficacy compared with the histopathology resultsUltrasound images for a 57-year-old female patient presented with a neck swelling. a Axial ultrasound B-mode image is showing a left solid isoechoic thyroid nodule (TI-RADS 4) (arrow). b Axial SWE of the nodule (Emean = 12.1 kPa and ER = 2.0). c Axial SWE of the normal right thyroid parenchyma; the FNAC revealed a nodular hyperplasia (Bethesda 2); thus, SWE EIs were also concordant with the cytological examination regarding the benign natureBack to article page
