Abstract

Abstract: This study investigated the application effects of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound elastography and the thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) in cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer. Eighty-six patients with thyroid cancer confirmed by surgery or biopsy were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological results were taking as the standard to evaluate the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound elastography and TI-RADS using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. It was found that the sensitivity of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound elastography and TI-RADS in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was 75.93%, 74.07% and 70.37%, significantly lower than 90.74% of combined diagnosis of the three. Therefore, the combination of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound elastography and TI-RADS is of great value in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer, which can provide valuable information for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Key words: thyroid cancer, cervical lymph node metastasis, high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound elastography, thyroid nodule classification
