Clinical correlation of 2D shear wave elastography findings in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus without autoimmune thyroiditis.

Our study showed that the elasticity of the thyroid gland in T1DM patients without AIT was not affected differently from that of the normal population. If 2D SWE is used in routine follow-up in T1DM patients before the development of AIT, we think that it will be useful in the early detection of thyroid gland affections and AIT, and long-term comprehensive studies in this direction will contribute to the literature.
