Background: Early detection of many thyroid disorders is essential in the management. Ultrasound elastography is beneficial in the assessment of diffuse thyroid diseases. Aim of study: To assess the role of ultrasound strain elastography in the diagnosis of diffuse non nodular thyroid disease in comparison to healthy controls and in the characterization and differentiation of the types of diffuse thyroid diseases. Patients and methods: It is a prospective analytic study performed in the Radiology Department of Oncology Teaching Hospital/Medical city Complex in Baghdad during the period from 1st of December 2019 to 30th of June, 2020 on convenient sample of 25 patients with diffuse thyroid disease, in addition to a sample of 25 healthy control persons. The diagnosis of diffuse thyroid diseases was made by combination of clinical symptoms, laboratory investigations and thyroid ultrasound. Results: The mean elastography strain ratio (1.36) of patients with diffuse thyroid disease was significantly higher than (0.82) mean of elastography strain ratio for healthy control persons (p |
