Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a reliable and reproducible assessment of necrotic ablated volume after radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules: a retrospective study

Purpose To investigate the intra- and inter-observer reliability and agreement of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in measuring ablated volume (Va) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid nodules. Materials This retrospective study evaluated 65 patients with 74 benign thyroid nodul...
