Evaluation of the Stiffness of Tissues Surrounding Thyroid Nodules with Shear Wave Elastography

Objectives This study evaluated the stiffness of tissue surrounding thyroid nodules using shear wave elastography (SWE). Methods A total of 128 thyroid nodules in 108 patients were examined with conventional ultrasound imaging and SWE. The maximum Young modulus value was measured to evaluate the sti...
