Sonographic measurement of thyroid nodule changes after microwave ablation: relationship between multiple parameters.

CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up emphasises changes in the shape and spatial structure of complex benign thyroid nodules, rather than size variations, after effective MWA. Index R, which is the surface area to volume ratio, can also reflect the shape change to some degree. PMID: 29303011 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
