Abstract:
The controversy over the ultrasonic testing of thyroid volume (TVOL) in children exists in some aspects, mainly focusing on the measurement errors caused by different testing personnel, instruments and techniques. Moreover, with the development of children growth higher than before, the influence of physiological factors on TVOL and relevant correction methods should be paid attention. This paper reviews domestic and foreign literatures. Firstly, through describing the TVOL reference values of international recommended, foreign country and China, we clarify the differences between them, and analyze the current situation and characteristics of each. Secondly, by studying the ultrasonic testing methods and physiological factors which affect TVOL, this paper analyzes the importance of various factors, discusses the availability of several measurement methods and compares several TVOL correction methods. Some suggestions are put forward for further improving the reference value of TVOL of children in China.
