Thyroid nodules are prevalent in the general population. Distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules is a clinical challenge. Although ultrasonography is commonly used for the assessment of thyroid nodules, previous studies have found that its usefulness is controversial. Therefore, there is a need to assess the clinical value of ultrasonography reported in the literature. This article reviews the literature on the clinical value of greyscale ultrasonography, colour and power Doppler ultrasonography, and ultrasound elastography in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

甲狀腺結節在一般人口中是很普遍的。區分良性和惡性甲狀腺結節是一個臨床挑戰。雖然超聲波檢查常用於評估甲狀腺結節，但以往的研究結果存在爭議。因此，有必要評估以往文獻報導超聲波檢查的臨床價值。本文回顧灰度超聲波、彩色和能量多普勒超聲波，以及超聲波彈性成像在鑑別良性和惡性甲狀腺結節中的臨床價值。
