Contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of C-TIRADS category 4 thyroid nodules
For C-TIRADS category 4 thyroid nodules, CEUS and SWE had high diagnostic efficacy, and the combination of CEUS and SWE further increased the diagnostic sensitivity, NPV, and accuracy, and thus could be used to help guide the treatment and management of patients.
