Core Tip Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D SWE) is very useful in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules. However, its value in evaluating and predicting thyroid function is unclear. We prospectively compared conventional ultrasound and 2D SWE results of thyroid in pregnant women with normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), pregnant with abnormal TSH, and nonpregnant with normal TSH. Our results showed that thyroid size, thyroid echotexture, 2D SWE quantitative parameters including mean elasticity and maximal elasticity showed no significant differences among the three groups. 2D SWE features could not reflect serum TSH level and be unsuitable for monitoring thyroid function.
