title: [The scope of ultra sound in the diagnosis of thyroid disease (author's transl)].
abstract: Between 28, 9, 73 and 30, 9, 75, we examined the thyroid glands of 315 patients by means of ultra sound. In 166 patients the ultra sound findings could be compared with other methods of examination, particularly surgery, or with the subsequent clinical course. The value of ultra sould is stressed particularly in the differential diagnosis of solitary "cold" scintigraphic nodules and for wider routine use. The technique and value of this method are described.
