Abstract

The recently published guidelines of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) on interventional ultrasound (INVUS)-guided procedures summarize the intended interdisciplinary and multiprofessional approach. Herewith, we report on recommendations for interventional procedures for diagnosis and treatment of the thyroid gland.

Keywords: Abscess; Carcinoma; Drainage; Guideline; Metastases; Percutaneous ablation; Safety; Thermal ablation; Ultrasound guidance.
