초록

갑상선 영상의학 진료란 갑상선 질환 환자를 영상의학적 방법을 활용하여 질병 진단과 중재적 치료를 하는 의료 행위로 정의될 수 있으며 주요 진료 대상은 갑상선 결절 질환 환자들이다. 갑상선 결절의 진단은 일차적으로 초음파 영상진단과 생검에 의해서 이루어지고 결절의 치료는 비수술적 중재적 치료와 갑상선절제술이다. 갑상선 낭종 혹은 낭성우세 양성 결절에서는 에탄올절제술이 일차적 치료법이고 고주파절제술은 고형 혹은 고형우세 양성 결절과 갑상선 재발암 치료에 적용되고 있다. 갑상선 영상의학 진료는 갑상선 결절 질환 환자의 진단 및 비수술적 치료의 대부분을 담당하는 중요한 임상적 역할을 가지고 있으며, 적절한 환자 진료를 위해서는 표준적 진료 지침에 근거하여 진료가 수행되어야 한다. 환자에게 최적의 갑상선 영상의학 진료를 제공하기 위해서는 영상의학과 외래에서 환자를 진료하는 것이 바람직하며 외래 중심의 갑상선 영상의학 진료를 확대하도록 함께 노력해야 할 시점이다.

Thyroid radiology practice is a medical practice in which thyroid diseases are diagnosed using imaging modality and treated by imaging-based interventional techniques, and the primary care target is thyroid nodular disease. Diagnosis of thyroid nodules is primarily done by ultrasound imaging and biopsy; thyroid nodules can be treated by non-surgical interventional treatment and thyroidectomy. Ethanol ablation is the first-line treatment for cystic benign nodules, and radiofrequency ablation is used for the treatment of benign solid nodules and recurrent thyroid cancers. Thyroid radiology practice has an essential clinical role in diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of thyroid nodular diseases, and treatment should be performed based on standard care guidelines for proper patient care. In order to provide the best care to patients with thyroid nodular disease, it is desirable to treat patients in the radiology outpatient clinic. Thyroid radiology practice centered on outpatient clinic practice needs to be expanded.
