1. To describe a systematic approach to thyroid ultrasound. 2. To review the classic patterns of benign diffuse thyroid disease focusing on autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves’ disease and various forms of thyroiditis including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) 3. To review the classic appearance of thyroid goiter on ultrasound and other imaging modalities.  4. To review imaging findings differentiating benign from malignant diffuse thyroid disease.

Systematic approach thyroid ultrasound size, contour, echogenicity assessment of nodules or calcifications thyroid vascularity on color Doppler evaluation of adjacent lymph nodes Benign diffuse thyroid disease Classic patterns of Graves’ disease and thyroiditis Imaging characteristics of suspicious focal lesion in background of thyroiditis Multimodality imaging of the thyroid goiter ultrasound chest x-ray nuclear medicine computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging Malignant diffuse thyroid disease Key imaging features in distinguishing benign from malignant thyroid disease Case examples: Metastatic disease Infiltrating papillary carcinoma Lymphoma Anaplastic thyroid cancer
