A 39-year-old woman with hyperparathyroidism and brown tumor in her left humerus. An example of a parathyroid adenoma. Diagnosis was confirmed by parathyroidectomy. Scintigraphy scan was positive. The gray-scale image shows a typical hypoechoic adenoma deep in relation to the right lower pole of the thyroid gland (A). Elastographic examination of the lesion revealed predominantly green and red colors (A) and E-index of 1.7 (B). (E-index; elasticity score)

A 52-year-old woman with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The gray-scale images show heterogeneous thyroid gland parenchyma (A), and the left lower lymph node (B). Elastographic examination of the lesion revealed green and blue colors (B) and E-index of 1.4 (C). (E-index; elasticity score)

A 22-year-old healthy woman. The gray-scale image shows a level IV reactive jugular lymph node (A). Elastographic examination of the lymph node revealed predominantly green and red colors (B) and E-index of 1.2 (C). (E-index; elasticity score)
