Table 2. Prevalence of Thyroid Pyramidal Lobes on US and CT in Six Institutions.
Investigators | US | CT |
---|---|---|
A (n = 100) | 59 | 59 |
B (n = 100) | 45 | 57 |
C (n = 100) | 44 | 45 |
D (n = 100) | 37 | 58 |
E (n = 100) | 27 | 29 |
F (n = 82) | 18 | 28 |
Mean ± SD | 38.3 ± 14.5 | 46 ± 14.5 |
Note.- Significant difference in prevalence of thyroid pyramidal lobe between institutions was found (p < 0.001). CT = computed tomography, US = ultrasonography
