Fig. 3From: Accuracy of shear wave elastography in characterization of thyroid nodules in children and adolescentsA 14.5-year-old female patient with FNAB-proven papillary thyroid carcinoma. Transverse scan for left lobe of the thyroid gland obtained by linear probe. On the right side of the figure, grayscale US shows a hypoechoic nodule with irregular margin which was assessed as a suspicious nodule on grayscale US. On the left side of the figure, SWE displays a heterogeneous color elasticity signal with central high SWE areas (red); mean SWE was 83.5 kPaBack to article page
