Ultrasound Real-Time Tissue Elastography Improves the Diagnostic Performance of the ACR Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System in Differentiating Malignant from Benign Thyroid Nodules: A Summary of 1525 Thyroid Nodules

<div>Images in a 35-year-old woman who underwent routine check-up. A 14 mm right thyroid nodule with isoechogenicity, solid, smooth margin, wider-than-tall, and no calcification was found by grayscale US and assessed as a benign nodule. A score of 1 was assigned at elastography. The TI-RADS category was assigned as 2. This thyroid nodule was diagnosed as a nodular goiter at surgery.</div>
