Ultrosound diagnostics of thyroid disorders

С момента своего появления в 40-х годах прошлого века ультразвуковое исследование (УЗИ) заняло важное место в диагностике заболеваний щитовидной железы (ЩЖ). Преимуществами УЗИ являются его доступность, хорошая визуализация ЩЖ за счет ее поверхностного расположения, хорошая воспроизводимость результатов и безопасность для пациента. Это очень быстро развивающийся и совершенствующийся метод диагностики. Помимо стандартного исследования в В-режиме, которое позволяет получить уже привычное двумерное серошкальное изображение органа, в арсенале врачей быстро появляются новые дополнительные методики, такие как допплеровские методы исследования, дающие возможность оценивать кровоток в паренхиме ЩЖ (цветовое допплеровское картирование, импульсная допплерометрия), получение трехмерных (3D) и четырехмерных (4D) изображений, эластография.
