Abstract
Comparison of three methods for demonstration of thyroid enlargement in 92 patients showed that the sensitivity of sonographic volumetrics (93 %) and palpation (91 %) is superior to radiography (45 %). Sonography has the disadvantage of lack of quantitative demonstration of retrosternal goitre. Palpation and chest radiograph had the disadvantage of a frequency of false positive findings in 8.7 and 10.9 %.Keywords
