Figure 3

Ultrasound images of a 26-year-old female PTMC patient with CCLNM of the left thyroid lobe.

Power Doppler image showed rich blood signals (arrow) in the tumor (A). CEUS image showed diffuse and homogeneous enhancement (arrow) across the whole lesion (B). Parametric map showed that the nodule was in yellow and red (arrow), which indicates hyperenhancement with respect to adjacent thyroid parenchyma (in blue) (C). Numeric values of peak, TP, sharpness and AUC were automatically calculated based on the time–intensity curve and demonstrated on the top of form (D).
