Thyroid nodules: evaluation with color Doppler ultrasonography

Forty-seven patients with thyroid nodules (13 papillary carcinomas, 14
adenomas, and 20 adenomatous goiters) underwent color Doppler sonography
with a 7.5 MHz transducer. Perinodular or intranodular color flow signals
were depicted in 10 of 13 papillary carcinomas, in 10 of 14 follicular
adenomas, and in 14 of 20 adenomatous goiters. No correlation existed
between the presence of color signals and pathology, whereas the detection
rate of color signals had a dependence on the size of the lesions. No
specific flow pattern for malignancy could be found. Color Doppler
sonography would not improve the ability to differentiate benign from
malignant nodules significantly.
