Overview

This text provides a comprehensive review of ultrasound in thyroid and parathyroid diseases. These topics are presented from a vantage point of complex decision-making encountered in real clinical scenarios. The sections are organized according to a logical structure covering benign and malignant thyroid conditions, parathyroid disease, and ultrasound technology, ultrasound-guided interventions, and innovations. The style of the chapters provide practical, actionable information that is richly illustrated with figures and links to video cine-clips. The chapter topics aim to show how different specialists uniquely apply ultrasound in given clinical scenarios. The text illustrates the optimal incorporation of current practice guidelines, as this remains varied and inconsistent among clinicians. The content is written by invited experts who perform ultrasound in their daily clinical practices and participate in teaching ultrasound nationally and internationally. It conveys the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information in an interactive and visual format.       Advanced Thyroid and Parathyroid Ultrasound fills a gap in currently available resources by serving as a single resource unifying information relevant to multiple specialists interested in advanced thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound. It provides a practical, concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that will help guide patient management.

Reviews

“This monograph is devoted exclusively to the various applications of ultrasound to thyroid and parathyroid diagnosis (and treatment). … The audience is practitioners and possibly fellowship-level trainees, particularly those who wish to incorporate ultrasound in their practice. Endocrinologists and surgeons will primarily benefit. … This unique reference brings together a wealth of information about this specialized topic. It will be of interest to specialists and specialty trainees who work in this field.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)

Author Information

Dr. Milas is an endocrine surgeon who is devoted to compassionate and expert care of patients with thyroid and parathyroid disorders. Her background includes specialized training in general surgery, surgical oncology and endocrine surgery from Emory University School of Medicine and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She was the founding director of the Thyroid Center at Cleveland Clinic, and is involved in numerous national and international activities in the field of thyroid and parathyroid disease. At the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Dr. Milas will join the multidisciplinary oncology team, providing a full range of diagnosis and treatment services to patients with endocrine tumors, especially thyroid cancer. She serves as Director of Endocrine Surgery and member of the multidisciplinary Thyroid and Parathyroid Center. Her expertise also includes benign thyroid and parathyroid tumors, such as nodular thyroid disease and goiters, and hyperparathyroidism that can lead to kidney stones and significant osteoporosis. With long-standing commitments to education and innovation, Dr. Milas' research interests focus on molecular markers for thyroid cancer diagnosis, circulating cancer cells, hereditary thyroid cancer syndromes and novel phenotypes of parathyroid disease.
