Özet

Introduction: The most common type of autoimmune thyroiditis is Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), which is the leading cause of hypothyroidism. Although ultrasound examination aids in the diagnosis of the disease, it does not have a specific quantitative value. The aim of this study was to evaluate the parenchymal echogenicity alterations of the thyroid gland in adolescent patients with HT using B-mode gray scale histogram and to reveal the predictive value of this technique in the diagnosis of HT.
