title: [Color Doppler ultrasonography of the thyroid gland in diagnostics of autoimmune thyroiditis].
abstract: Diagnostics of thyroid gland pathology becomes more efficient with combined use of ultrasound and Doppler Ultrasonography. The article presents Color Doppler Ultrasonography data of 91 patients with hypertrophic and atrophic form of autoimmune thyroiditis. The obtained results showed considerable increase in resistive index in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and consequently the index can be used as diagnostic criterion of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis.
