ABSTRACT
Despite its low incidence,medullary thyroid carcinoma(MTC)is featured by its fast progression and poor prognosis.Early diagnosis and treatment is therefore particularly important.As a convenient and non-invasive diagnostic tool,ultrasound plays a key role in the diagnosis and follow-up of MTC.In recent years,the application of conventional ultrasound,ultrasonic elastography,and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy has dramatically improved the diagnostic accuracy of MTC.
