Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases.The establishment of thyroid imaging reporting and data system based on conventional ultrasound plays a key role in the diagnosis of thyroid tumors.In recent years,new technologies such as elastography,superb microvascular imaging,ultrasonography and artificial intelligence have been widely used in the ultrasound diagnosis of thyroid diseases.The application of multimodal ultrasound technology has greatly improved the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid malignancies and provided a theoretical basis for the formulation of individualized diagnostic and treatment plans for thyroid cancer patients.
