甲状腺结节钙化在超声诊断甲状腺癌中的价值观察分析

Abstract: Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of thyroid nodule calcification in ultrasound-guided detection of thyroid cancer. Methods A total of 100 thyroid cancer patients (35 males and 65 females) admitted to our hospital between October 2023 and October 2024 were enrolled in this study. Both ultrasound and CT imaging were used for detecting thyroid nodule calcification, with pathological diagnosis serving as the gold standard. The diagnostic efficacy of these two Methods was analyzed. Results Gold standard diagnosis showed 77 benign and 23 malignant cases, ultrasound diagnosed 75 benign and 22 malignant cases. CT diagnosed 65 benign and 12 malignant cases. The sensitivity of ultrasound was 95.65%, specificity 97.40%, and accuracy 97.00%. CT showed 52.17% sensitivity, 84.42% specificity, and 77.00% accuracy (P＜0.05). Calcification detection rates were higher in the malignant group than in the benign group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound examination with thyroid nodule calcification demonstrates high diagnostic efficacy for thyroid cancer detection and is recommended for clinical practice.
