Diagnostic accuracy of elastography in differentiating parathyroid lesions from cervical tissues: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Key Points
Elastography shows a high diagnostic accuracy in differentiating parathyroid lesions from normal cervical tissue, offering reliable differentiation.
The pooled sensitivity was reported as 88% and specificity as 85%, indicating strong performance in clinical assessments.
Assessment involved a systematic review and meta-analysis, aggregating data from multiple studies to ensure comprehensive insights.
These findings support the use of elastography as an effective non-invasive tool for evaluating parathyroid lesions, though external validation is needed.
