Abstract    Thyroid nodule is very common. Ultrasound is the first choice in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Conventional ultrasound is recommended as the initial evaluation for all patients with known or suspicious thyroid nodules. With the development of ultrasound techniques, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography add a new dimension to ultrasound evaluation of thyroid nodules. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) helps differentiate benign nodules from malignancy, which has shown high diagnositic performance.

Key words: ultrasounography, thyroid, fine-needle aspiration

摘要：

甲状腺结节越来越常见。对甲状腺结节的检查多以超声为首选。对于甲状腺结节病人，推荐普通超声作为诊断的基础。超声造影及弹性成像的出现，为超声检查在甲状腺结节的诊断中开辟了新的天地。超声引导下细针穿刺细胞学检查具有较高的诊断价值，在甲状腺结节的诊断和鉴别诊断中具有重要意义。
