Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical application value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with elastic ultrasound imaging in diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules .Methods Sixty patients with thyroid nodules who were examined in our hospital from April 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled in the study .All the patients underwent color Doppler ultrasound detection and elastic ultrasound imaging examination .The diagnosis results about benign and malignant nodules , ultrasound examination data , thyroid nodules imaging results were observed and compared between two groups . Results Among 60 patients with thyroid nodules , there were 36 cases cases of benign nodules and 24 cases of malignant nodules.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy by elastic ultrasound imaging were 88.03%,87.16%,88.39%,respectively, however, which by color Doppler ultrasound were 76.82%,55.12%,72.13%,respectively, there were significant differences between two groups ( P <0.05).The detection rates of small calcification ,blood flow signal in the halo ring ,blood stream signal abundance status in elastic ultrasound imaging group were significantly higher than those in color Doppler ultrasound group ( P <0.05).The 4~5 points of malignant nodules by thyroid nodule elastic ultrasound imaging score were significantly higher than those of benign nodules ( P <0.05).C onclusion The color Doppler ultrasound combined with elastic ultrasound imaging can judge accurately benign or malignant thyroid nodules , the latter can make up the deficiency of color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of benign or malignant thyroid nodules .
