Thyroid Doppler ultrasound (TDUS) is highly used in the evaluation of thyroid nodules (TN). Malignant thyroid pathology has been more frequently associated with central vascularization of such nodules. There is controversy regarding the usefulness of the Resistance Index (RI) in the assessment of TN.Our aim was to analyze the utility of vascularization characteristics and RI at TDUS in the distinction of benign and malignant TN.Mat...
