Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound elastography compared to fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing thyroid nodules as benign or malignant.
- The research involved 360 patients with visible thyroid nodules and found that FNAC outperformed ultrasound elastography in terms of sensitivity (92.00%) and specificity (85.33%) for distinguishing benign nodules.
- Ultimately, while ultrasound elastography showed potential with an accuracy of 81.94%, FNAC maintains its status as the gold standard with an accuracy of 85.47%, particularly across different age groups.
