Thyroid nodules with benign signs might be subjectively diagnosed as malignant, leading to over-treatment, and nodules with malignant signs might be regarded as benign, causing insufficient curing. To improve the accuracy rate of thyroid nodules, this book analyzed ultrasound diagnosis for thyroid nodules in multiple complex and misdiagnosed cases from thyroid surgeons’ perspective and closely combined ultrasound imaging with clinical information, including ultrasound images and palpation of thyroid nodules, ultrasound detection video, gross specimen, and pathologic diagnosis to interpret the ultrasound images of thyroid nodules, which can be a reference for thyroid surgeons and beginner.
This is the first book that has systematically summarized the ultrasound thyroid nodules from the perspective of surgeons, closely combining the imaging and clinical characteristics.
It contains abundant clinical cases and can be used as a teaching book for beginners and an expert-led training course.
This will help surgeons better carry out clinical work, compensating for their lack of knowledge in anatomy and clinical pathology.
It helps surgeons to perform the preoperative ultrasound evaluation to decrease the missed and misdiagnosed nodules.
