Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of high frequency color doppler ultrasound for screening thyroid diseases in physi-cal examination people .Methods The detectable information of thyroid diseases using high frequency color doppler ultrasound in 1 413 physical examination people was analyzed .Results A total of 588 cases of the 1 413 people were detected to have thyroid dis-eases with positive rate of 41 .61% ,and the detectable rate increased with aging .The positive rate of female (349 cases ,54 .96% ) was statistically higher than that of male(239 cases ,30 .72% ) .Within the 588 people ,111 cases were diagnosed as diffused thyroid diseases and 488 cases were diagnosed as thyroid nodules by high frequency color doppler ultrasound .Twenty cases were confirmed to have thyroid carcinoma by pathologic examination ,with 3 males and 17 females .Twelve lesions were less than 1 .0 cm in diameter and were diagnosed as microcarcinoma .The smallest lesion was 6 mm × 5 mm .Conclusion The high frequency color doppler ultra-sound was useful in screening for thyroid diseases ,especially for carcinoma ,and should be used as routine examination item .
