2D-Shear Wave Elastography in the Evaluation of Parathyroid Lesions in Patients with Hyperparathyroidism by Ioana Golu, Ioan Sporea, Lavinia Moleriu, Anca Tudor, Marioara Cornianu, Adrian Vlad, Romulus Timar, Melania Balas, Daniela Amzar, Mihaela Vlad

“…For a cutoff value of 12.5 kPa, the EI assessed by 2D-SWE had a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 86% (AUC = 0.949; p<0.001) for predicting parathyroid lesions. Conclusion. A value lower than 12.5 kPa for the mean EI measured by 2D-SWE can be used to confirm that the lesion/nodule is a parathyroid adenoma.…”
