Abstract
High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS), the imaging modality of choice for thyroid screening, is most commonly used in the study of diffuse thyroid disease (DTD) with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD). DTD can involve thyroid function and severely affect life quality, so early diagnosis is important for the development of timely clinical intervention strategies. Previously, the diagnosis of DTD relied on qualitative ultrasound imaging and related laboratory tests. In recent years, with the development of multimodal imaging and intelligent medicine, ultrasound and other diagnostic imaging techniques have gradually become more widely used for quantitative assessment of the structure and function of DTD. In this paper, we review the current status and progress of quantitative diagnostic ultrasound imaging techniques for DTD.
