It has been demonstrated that the mechanical properties of tissue involved in the pathological process are changed and SWE might indicate regions of the examined tissue covered by the disease. In adults SWE is used to differentiate benign and malignant nodules in thyroid gland, however there are still few studies on application of SWE in thyroid di...
