Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between ultrasonic elasticity score ,elasticity coefficient and autoimmune thyroid function in patients with HT ( hashimoto thyroiditis ) .Methods: Used GE LOGIQ3 type Color Doppler Ultrasound Diagnostic System to acquire satisfactory elastosonography from 216 patients with HT,and evaluated the elasticity score and elasticity coefficient;to detecte the thyroid function and the titer of Thyroid peroxidase antibody ( TPOAb ) , Thyroid globulin antibody ( TgAb ) by chemiluminescence ,respectively investigated the correlation between ultrasonic elasticity score , elasticity coefficient and autoimmune thyroid function.Results:Serum Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),TGA and TPO in 216 patients with HT increased significantly , TgAb and elastic coefficient were positively correlated , r=0.54 , P<0.01;TgAb and elasticity score were positively correlated , r=0.496 ,P<0.01;TPOAb and elastic coefficient were positively correlated ,r=0.77 ,P<0.01 ,TPOAb and elasticity score were positively correlated,r=0.73,P<0.01.Conclusion: Real-time ultrasound elastography in combination with measurement of autoimmune thyroid function was helpful to diagnosis of HT .
