A comparative analysis of strain and shear wave elastography in differentiating thyroid nodules
SE and SWE demonstrate comparable diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing benign from malignant thyroid nodules, both significantly outperforming conventional ultrasonography. Given their equivalent effectiveness, the choice between SE and SWE may be guided by available resources and expertise, particularly in contexts already utilizing ACR-TIRADS criteria.
