Screening of young subjects for goiter: role of ultrasonic examinations
https://doi.org/10.14341/probl12023
Abstract
Eighty-two students in whom goiter was diagnosed by palpation were examined by ultrasonography. Assessment of the volume of the thyroid in these students revealed diffuse goiter in only 5.5% and nodular in 22% cases. Thyroid dysfunction was diagnosed in 16% subjects with diffuse or nodular goiter. Sonographic examination of the thyroid with an assessment of its volume and echostructure helps more accurately diagnose goiter and plan therapeutic measures.
