Scanning acoustic microscopy of thyroid - Video abstract
Video abstract of original research paper "H
istological evaluation of thyroid lesions
using a scanning acoustic microscope" published in the open access journal Pathology and Laboratory Medicine International by K Miura and H Mineta.
Purpose: A scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) uses an ultrasound to image an object by plotting the speed-of-sound (SOS) through tissues on screen. Because hard tissues result in great SOS, SAM can provide data on the tissue elasticity. This paper investigated the utility of SAM in evaluating thyroid lesions.
