Application of shear wave elastography in the management of thyroid nodules in children and adolescents: our experience and a review of the literature

IntroductionShear wave elastography (SWE) is an ultrasound diagnostic method used to measure tissue stiffness. Since the mechanical properties of tissue involved in the pathological process change, SWE might indicate regions of the examined tissue covered by the disease. It is well documented that S...
