The Role of Shear Wave Elastography in the Discrimination Between Malignant and Benign Thyroid Nodules.

Background: Grayscale ultrasound (US) is the most common imaging modality for the assessment of thyroid nodules.

Objective: This research aimed to assess the value of using the elasticity index (EI), obtained using shear wave elastography (SWE), to discriminate between malignant and benign thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: A total of 86 patients (94 distinct thyroid nodules) were operated on at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019.
