Meta-Analysis of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound in Judging Benign and Malignant Thyroid Tumors

In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) patients has gradually increased, and it ranks first among all endocrine tumors. TC has no obvious characteristics at the initial stage of onset. Thyroid tumors (TT) have formed when they are discovered, and they are easy to see when they are dia...
