    Author: Agha A, Högl S, Seiferth C, Palitsch KD, Schölmerich J, Rüschoff J, Zirngibl H, Jauch KW.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1997; 114():1151-3. PubMed ID: 9574362.
    Abstract:
    Szintigraphy of the thyroid gland is still one of the most important preoperative diagnostic procedures. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is a highly sensitive, but less specific method. Fine-needle aspiration as an additional diagnostic method has a higher specificity in the case of a positive result.
