This article demonstrates improved management of thyroid nodule ablation using enhanced ultrasound techniques, indicating better treatment outcomes.
Thermal ablation has gathered population for treatment of benign thyroid nodules in recent years as an alternative to surgery. This utilises techniques such as radiofrequency, microwave and laser ablation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has also gained widespread use over the last few decades and offers a number of advantages in intervention. This article will describe the utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in microwave thyroid ablation from a pre-procedure, intraprocedural and post-procedural perspective. The application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for a more comprehensive management strategy for thyroid nodule ablation.
