Analysis of Diagnostic Effect of Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasonic Examination on Subacute Thyroiditis

Abstract

Objective: To compare and analyze the diagnostic effect of nuclear medicine and ultrasound on subacute thyroiditis. Methods: 60 patients with subacute thyroiditis who underwent nuclear medicine and ultrasound examination in a hospital in our city from 2019 to 2021 were studied, including 33 women and 27 men, with an average age of 38.7 ± 8.9 years and an average course of 46.2 ± 16.8 days. These patients were diagnosed by nuclear medicine and ultrasound examination respectively, and the two diagnostic results were compared by chi square test. Results: the positive rate of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis was 91.67% (57/60), and the positive rate of ultrasound in the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis was 96.66% (58/60). There was no significant difference between the two (P > 0.05). Conclusion: the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis by nuclear medicine and ultrasound has a good accuracy. When making specific clinical diagnosis, we should choose the appropriate diagnostic method according to the actual situation of patients.
