Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound for thyroid conditions has been a common practice in Europe, particularly in outpatient endocrine clinics, with increased use in southern Sweden recently.
- It plays a crucial role in diagnosing various thyroid diseases, but the risk of finding incidentalomas (unexpected findings) can increase with widespread use. Strict guidelines must be followed to minimize unnecessary investigations.
- The EU-TIRADS classification system helps assess the risk of malignancy in localized adenomas, while the Bethesda classification determines if further diagnostic procedures are necessary, leading to better patient management and follow-up.

Aim: To investigate changes in hepatic and splenic stiffness in patients without chronic liver disease during liver resection for hepatic tumors.
Methods: Patients scheduled for liver resection for hepatic tumors were considered for enrollment. Tissue stiffness measurements on liver and spleen were conducted before and two days after liver resection using point shear-wave elastography.
