    Summary: This book is a superbly illustrated, comprehensive guide to the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules by means of shear wave elastography. A wealth of representative clinical cases are used to demonstrate the value of the stiffness map in identifying the degree and pattern of fibrosis. The goal is to enable readers to identify the characteristic differential diagnostic features of nodular hyperplasia, thyroiditis, follicular adenoma, and the various types of thyroid cancer and to predict the final histopathology on the basis of the imaging findings. With this in mind, correlations between the appearances on shear wave elastography and conventional ultrasonography and the findings of fine-needle aspiration cytology, core needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy are highlighted. In addition, the fundamental principles of shear wave elastography are clearly explained and related to clinical practice in the field of thyroid disease. Both radiologists and clinicians will find the book to be an excellent asset that aids in correct preoperative diagnosis.

    Contents:
    Introduction
    Shear wave elastography physics

    Forty-one renal biopsies from 34 patients presenting over a 7-year period with the nephrotic syndrome or significant proteinuria and considered initially to be cases of lipoid nephrosis have been reviewed, and the results correlated with clinical findings. Lipoid nephrosis was confirmed in 25 of the patients (20 males, 5 females) 6 of whom showed a small proportion of completely sclerosed glomeruli. Twenty-two of these patients were in remission at the time of review. Nine of the patients (4 males, 5 females) showed features typical of focal glomerulosclerosis; only 4 of these were in remission, 4 showed continuing proteinuria, and one had died. The study emphasizes the importance and problems of distinguishing lipoid nephrosis from focal glomerulosclerosis.
