Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the effect of transverse and longitudinal sections on the measurement of thyroid nodule stiffness by shear wave elastography. The main questions it aims to answer are: (i) to compare the diagnostic efficacy of different section orientations of shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules; (ii) to analyze the correlation between the two orientations of transverse and longitudinal sections of shear wave elastography; and (iii) to compare the reliability and consistency of the two orientations of transverse and longitudinal sections of shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Participants will undergo routine ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland and shear wave elastography, and the measured modulus of elasticity of the nodules in both transverse and longitudinal sections will be recorded.

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient was placed in a decubitus supine head back extension position to fully expose the cervical thyroid examination site. The instrument was adjusted appropriately to achieve optimal imaging quality, the suspicious nodule was located in conventional ultrasound mode, the SWE option in VT mode was selected, and the patient was instructed to hold his/her breath to minimize the effect of respiration, and elastograms of the nodule in transverse and longitudinal sections were obtained.
