Diagnostic accuracy of B-mode ultrasound, ultrasound elastography and diffusion weighted MRI in differentiation of thyroid nodules (prospective study)

Abstract Background The incidence of the thyroid nodules and its detection is increasing rapidly. The most precise method for diagnosis of the nodules of the thyroid is FNAC.
