<p class="jove_content">A standardized shear-wave and strain elastography follow-up protocol was applied before and after thyroid nodule radiofrequency ablation to quantify stiffness changes longitudinally. Using mixed-effects modeling and multivariable regression, early post-ablation elastography changes were independently associated with 12-month volume reduction response.</p>

Elastography-Based Evaluation of Treatment Response Following Radiofrequency Ablation of Thyroid Nodules

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an established minimally invasive treatment for benign thyroid nodules, yet response assessment relies largely on delayed ...
