Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the strain index (SI) as well as the ES scoring of thyroid nodules, and establish the role for these parameters in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules using histopathological analysis as a reference standart.Materials and method: Real-time ES in transverse axis (TA) and longitudinal exis (LA) was performed in 391 nodules of 292 patients. ES scoring was made for all the nodules. SI in TA and LA was calcu...

Aim: We aimed to determine strain index (SI) values using Elastosonography (ES) in histopathologically confirmed differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) and investigate the role of these values for the differential diagnosis of nodular thyroid diseases.Material and method: ES in longitudinal axis (LA) was performed in 391 thyroid nodules of 292 patients. ES scores of thyroid nodules were determined and SI in LA for each nodule was calculated. The finding...
