Ultrasound elastography (USE) has been used for quantitative imaging since the early 1990s. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of USE with that of conventional ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of benign vs. malignant thyroid nodules. USE was performed on 150 thyroid nodules in 123 patients. USE demonstrated a lower grade of elasticity (grade I/II) in 86% of benign nodules and a decreased strain ratio (2.30±1.01) compared with malignant nodules. USE of malignant nodules exhibited a higher grade of elasticity (grade III/IV) in 90% of nodules and an increased strain ratio (6.39±2.50). The results of the present study indicate that USE and strain ratio may be useful in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
