Thyroid Ultrasound: State of the Art. Part 2 - Focal Thyroid Lesions.
*Practice Guidelines as Topic; Computer Assisted – Methods; Computer-Assisted/*methods; Diagnosis; Differential; Evidence-Based; Evidence-Based Medicine; Humans; Image Enhancement – Methods; Image Enhancement/methods; Image Interpretation; Medical Practice; Practice Guidelines; Reproducibility of Results; Scales; Sensitivity and Specificity; Thyroid Gland; Thyroid Gland – Pathology; Thyroid Gland/*diagnostic imaging/pathology; Thyroid Nodule; Thyroid Nodule – Pathology; Thyroid Nodule/*diagnostic imaging/pathology; Ultrasonography – Methods; Ultrasonography – Standards; Ultrasonography/*methods/*standards
Accurate differentiation of focal thyroid nodules (FTL) and thyroid abnormalities is pivotal for proper diagnostic and therapeutic work-up. In these two part articles, the role of ultrasound techniques in the characterization of FTL and evaluation of diffuse thyroid diseases is described to expand on the recently published World Federation in Ultrasound and Medicine (WFUMB) thyroid elastography guidelines and review how this guideline fits into a complete thyroid ultrasound exam.

The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has produced guidelines for the use of elastography techniques including basic science, breast and liver. Here we present elastography in thyroid diseases. For each available technique, procedure, reproducibility, results and limitations are analyzed and recommendations are given. Finally, recommendations are given based on the level of evidence of the published literature and on the WFUMB expert group's consensus. The document has a clinical perspective and is aimed at assessing the usefulness of elastography in the management of thyroid diseases.
