In order to make precise differential diagnosis of diffuse goiter without nodular lesions (Graves' disease and chronic thyroiditis), we used conventional and Doppler ultrasonography (Toshiba Model SSA-270 A, with a 7.5 MHz transducer) to examine 173 patients with diffuse goiter. Images showing markedly increased intrathyroidal blood flow were obtained in 72% of cases of active Graves' disease. Peak velocity in the superior thyroid arteries of patients with active hyperthyroidism was significantly greater than that in patients with hyperthyroidism in the euthyroid state and all cases of thyroiditis. We conclude that, despite its simplicity, color Doppler ultrasonography is useful in the differential diagnosis of diffuse goiter. Using it in combination with the measurement of velocity in the superior thyroid artery makes diagnosis even easier.
