Abstract
In subclinical hypothyroidism, thyroid ultrasonography is not required for the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis but is useful for patients with abnormal thyroid palpation and allows detection of non-palpable thyroid nodules. For patients that were negative for thyroid antibodies, thyroid ultrasonography can improve diagnosis for some patients, allowing detection of autoimmune thyroiditis.
