  • Title: [Evaluation of thyroid gland scintigraphy and thyroid gland ultrasonography from the surgical viewpoint].
    Author: Meyer D.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1991; 116(16):935-42. PubMed ID: 1750287.
    Abstract:
    The results of thyroid ultrasound and scanning on 251 patients have been reviewed in regard of the postoperative histological findings. Both procedures (thyroid ultrasound and scanning) cannot predict the histology. But with ultrasound adenomas of the thyroid for example could be localized in 93%, with isotope scanning only in 74%. Merely 2% of cold nodules with decreased or mixed sonographic pattern have been malignant. Ultrasonography is extremely helpful for the surgeon in his operative planning.
