High frequency ultrasound is the main imaging method for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, and the complexity and variability of the ultrasound images of Hashimoto's thyroiditis increase the difficulty of distinguishing benign and malignant nodules. Combining new technologies such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound elasticity can improve the qualitative diagnostic efficiency of thyroid nodules. This article reviews the relevant research on the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules in the context of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
