Introduction: The differential diagnosis between GravesÂ’ disease (GD) and gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) is difficult in the absence of history and clinical features of GD. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of peak systolic (PSV) and end-diastolic velocities (EDV) of the right and left inferior thyroid arteries (ITA) as measured by color-flow Doppler ultrasonography (CFDUSG) for discriminating GTT from treatment naive GD.Meth...
