Thyroid isthmus thickness in prepubertal healthy children in an iodine-sufficient region
The study presented the reference values for thyroid isthmus thickness in prepubertal healthy children. Ultrasound evaluation of the isthmus seems to be very useful in the diagnostic process and monitoring of thyroid diseases, especially the diffuse ones. The authors are not aware of the existence o...
