AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightThe aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the parenchymal echogenicity alterations ofthe thyroid gland in adolescent patients with HT using B-mode grayscale histogram and to reveal the predictive value of this techniquein the diagnosis of HT.Methods: A total of 76 patients with HT and 46 healthy controls wereprospectively examined by the gray scale histogram analysis method.The analysis included the thyroid echogenicity/strap muscle echogenicityratio (TESER) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), antithyroidperoxidase (anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG).Results: The mean TESER that was significantly lower in the HT groupcompared to the control group (1.36±0.46 vs 2.24±0.59; p

Abstract
Introduction: The most common type of autoimmune thyroiditis isHashimoto thyroiditis (HT), which is the leading cause of hypothyroidism.Although ultrasound examination aids in the diagnosis of thedisease, it does not have a specific quantitative value.

Özet
Amaç: Hashimato Tiroiditi( HT), Otoimmin tiroiditlerin en sık görülen tipi olup hipotiroidinin başlıca sebebidir. Tiroid ultrason incelemesi HT tanısında yardımcı bir yöntem olup kantitatif bir değer verememektedir. Bu çalışmamızın amacı HT tanılı adölesan hastalarda B-mod gri skala histogram yöntemini kullanarak tiroid parankim ekojenitesi değişikliklerini tesbit etmek ve HT tanısında predikitf değerini ortaya koymaktır. Yöntemler: 76 HT tanılı ve 46 adölesan dönemkontrol grubuna prospektif olarak, tiroid bezinin B-mod gri scala Histogram analizi ve Tiroid sitümülan Hormon (TSH) tetkikleri, antitiroid peroksidaz (anti-TPO) ve antitiroglobülin (anti-TG) otoantikorları tetkikleri yapıldı. Gri skala histogram analizi yapmak için Tiroid ekojenite/strap kası ekojenite oranı (TESER) kullanıldı.Bulgular: Ortalama Tiroid ekojenite/strap kası ekojenite oranı (TESER) HT'li grupta 1,36±0,46,kontrol grubunda ise 2,24±0,59 olup istatiksel olarak anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p
