Ultrasonography of thyroid nodules. (a, b) Ultrasonographic appearance of a thyroid nodule pathologically diagnosed as a nodular thyroid goiter showing hypoechogenicity, unclear borders. (c, d) Ultrasonographic appearance of a thyroid nodule pathologically diagnosed as PTMC and negative for the BRAF V600E mutation, showing hypoechogenicity and central blood flow. (e, f) Ultrasonographic appearance of a thyroid nodule pathologically diagnosed with PTMC and positive for the BRAF V600E mutation, showing hypoechogenicity, unclear borders, and .
