2D-shear wave elastography plays a useful role in the preoperative assessment of parathyroid lesions with suspicious malignancy. The mean SWV and Young's modulus are advised as the favored diagnostic parameter with the best AUC and excellent specificities, while the max SWV and Young's modulus are more sensitive to distinguish the PC and APT compared with other parameters.
