Utility of elastography of thyroid nodules and effectiveness of their treatment using laser thermal ablation — preliminary results of the first observation of the Polish population
LTA caused a significant decrease in thyroid nodule volume in short-term observation. The procedure was safe and relatively painless. Significant changes in ultrasonographic parameters were observed. In this first short-term observation of the Polish population, initial nodule characteristics, vascularity, gender, and age did not correlate with LTA effectiveness. Long-term observation is necessary to determine the utility of SWE in LTA qualification and treatment planning.
