Introduction: Thyroid nodules can be detected by ultrasound (US) in 20–30% of unselected populations. Various non-surgical techniques such as laser and radiofrequency ablation have been developed to reduce thyroid nodule size. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a new, non-invasive method that has been shown recently. The aim of our study was to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of US-guided HIFU treatment of benign solid thyroid nodules.<p cla...
