Diagnosis of focal thyroid changes

The problem of recognition of focal formations in the thyroid gland remains relevant, despite the presence of numerous diagnostic methods (ultrasound, color Doppler mapping, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide scintigraphy, infrared thermography, lymphography, etc.), in this regard, there is an urgent need to optimize the diagnostic process taking into account economic factors. The difficulty of diagnosis is explained, first of all, by the asymptomatic course of the disease and the possibility of nodular formations in a slightly enlarged gland.
