Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
According to the grades of echogenicity to evulated thyroid nodules is a subjective process and is thus influenced by the observer's judgement. The investigators first proposed the ultrasound gray-scale ratio (UGSR) to explore its efficacy for differentiating papillary thyroid microcarcinomas from small nodular goiters.
