Elastography Evaluation of Benign Thyroid Nodules in Patients Affected by Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Table 1

The applied standard elastography color scoring system according to Rago criteria [13]. A score of 1 indicates even elasticity in the whole nodule, score 2 elasticity only at the peripheral part of the nodule, and score 3 no elasticity in the nodule and in the posterior shadowing.

Score
	Elasticity in the whole nodule
	Intermediate elasticity in the nodule
	Low elasticity in the nodule
