Overview

Retrospective analysis shows limited diagnostic value of resistive index in characterizing solid thyroid nodules with Doppler sonography.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between resistive index and elastographic stiffness in thyroid nodules.
  • Retrospective study of 52 patients with solid thyroid nodules > 1 cm
  • Evaluated with ultrasonography, Doppler sonography, and shear-wave elastography
  • TI-RADS categories assigned and vascularity classified into Doppler patterns
  • Statistical analyses included correlation and nonparametric tests.
  • Mean RI showed no significant association with demographic or elastographic variables
  • Slight increase in RI for TI-RADS≥3 nodules but not statistically significant
  • LI appeared to offer limited additional diagnostic value beyond standard imaging techniques.
