title: [Value of fine needle puncture cytology, thyroid gland ultrasound and thyroid gland scintigraphy in diagnosis of thyroid carcinomas].
abstract: Szintigraphy of the thyroid gland is still one of the most important preoperative diagnostic procedures. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is a highly sensitive, but less specific method. Fine-needle aspiration as an additional diagnostic method has a higher specificity in the case of a positive result.
