In these two part articles, the role of ultrasound techniques in the characterization of FTL and evaluation of diffuse thyroid diseases is described to expand on the recently published World Federation in Ultrasound and Medicine (WFUMB) thyroid elastography guidelines and review how this guideline fits into a complete thyroid ultrasound exam.161953049enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessColor DopplerContrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)ElastographyPoint of care(POC)ThyroidUltrasonography3.2 Clinical medicine1.1.
