Thyroid calcifications are a difficult problem to interpret. The deposition of calcium salt crystals often indicates profound morphological changes, cell death, their rearrangement and dedifferentiation. The calcifications are not guaranteed markers of any process. There is also no data on the effect calcifications on the development of a process in the thyroid. The analysis of 67 thyroid nodules, in wich calcifications were detected during ultrasound. Macrocalcifications were...

Methods of radiation diagnostics and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) are the methods of the first stage of diagnosis of thyroid nodules, which is confirmed by a large number of international recommendations. However, these methods do not always give the right answer for thyroid adenomas. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of a set of methods: ultrasound, sonoelastography, scintigraphy and FNAB in the diagnosis of thyroid adenomas. The study included 86 pa...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of systems for assessing ultrasound thyroid imagines. The object of the study was 754 patients with thyroid nodules. Research methods: ultrasound in the framework of image evaluation systems TIRADS, EU-TIRADS, ARC-TI-RADS, BTA, TI-RADS K. For statistical analysis of systems and criteria was performed multidimensional statistical modeling using cluster, factor, discriminant, variance, and ROC analysis. The stu...

Scientists have studied the direct effect of Civi19 on the pancreas and thyroid gland, in particular, on the development of subacute thyroiditis de Quervian. Our study describes 9 cases of subacute thyroiditis associated with coronavirus infection. Three patients had a mild form of covid19 (positive PCR test result). Subacute thyroiditis was one of the components of multiple organ lesions. Patients had typical manifestations of thyroiditis neck pain, cough, signs of hyperthyro...
