Sonographic imaging of the thyroid in children.
High-resolution sonographic imaging of thyroid disorders in paediatrics has become an extremely accurate method and is being more frequently used. The need for scintigraphy has therefore dramatically decreased. The anatomy and sonographic morphology of the thyroid gland (normal findings, variants) in infants and children are presented, as are patterns of thyroid disorders and respective algorithms of diagnostic imaging.
