Analysis of the Value of Ultrasound in the Screening of Thyroid Nodules
Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of ultrasound examination for thyroid nodules in patients.Methods:124 patients with thyroid nodules who came to our hospital from July 2021 to June 2023 were selected to analyze the differences in accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity of thyroid disease diagnosis using ultrasound and nuclide imaging,and to evaluate the diagnostic significance of ultrasound diagnosis for thyroid diseases.Results:The diagnostic accuracy,specificity,and sensitivity of ultrasound examination were 92.74%,87.80%,and 91.50%,respectively,while those of nuclide imaging were 79.84%,73.70%,and 78.90%,respectively.The comparison between the two groups of data was P<0.05;The ultrasound diagnosis results were as follows:7 cases(100.00%)of thyroid cancer,16 cases(84.21%)of thyroid adenoma,7 cases(87.50%)of cyst,5 cases(83.33%)of thyroiditis,and 80 cases(95.24%)of nodular mass.The diagnostic accuracy rate was 115 cases(92.74%),and the ultrasound examination of thyroiditis shows no sound halo.Only 1 case of thyroid cancer has sound halo(14.29%).Conclusion:Ultrasound examination has high clinical value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules,and has a higher diagnostic accuracy compared to nuclear imaging.
