  • Title: [Value of sonography in the diagnosis of decompensated autonomous thyroid adenoma].
    Author: Maier W, von Dewitz H, Langer M, Langer R, Schumacher KA.
    Journal: Computertomographie; 1981 Jun; 1(2):59-61. PubMed ID: 7187281.
    Abstract:
    In 30 patients with decompensated autonomous adenoma of the thyroid gland, the possibility was investigated whether sonography of the thyroid gland could replace the thyroid stimulation scintigram or a diagnostically insufficient, saturated scintigram. It was found that the thyroid sonogram--which has a lower specificity--has a markedly higher sensitivity than the saturated scintigram of the thyroid gland.
