Abstract: The effects of different diagnostic methods in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer were investigated in this study. A total of 126 thyroid cancer patients were selected, and performed the thyroid color Doppler elastography and ordinary color Doppler ultrasound. The results showed that the diagnostic accuracy of color Doppler elastography was higher than that of ordinary color Doppler ultrasound. The malignant proportion detected by color Doppler elastography were 77.38%, which was significantly higher than 44.64% of ordinary Doppler ultrasound (P<0.05). The malignant signs of patients with thyroid cancer were more than 80% of all malignant signs, and hypoechoic mass was the most sign in the proportion of malignant signs in patients with thyroid cancer, accounting for 71.43%. Logistics regression analysis showed that the influencing factors for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer were lymph node metastasis and pathological type. This study shows that the use of thyroid color Doppler elastography can effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy of malignant thyroid lesions, and can also effectively show the benign and malignant lesion, providing a new and reliable method for clinical diagnosis.
