LAWS OF ULTRASOUND ANATOMY OF THYROID HEALTHY PERSONS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOMATIC

Abstract

Purpose: To study interrelation of ultrasonic specifications of a thyroid gland with type of the constitution at healthy men and women of 17-30 years.Materials and Methods: 288 healthy people (from them men - 132, women - 156) the youthful and first period of mature age are surveyed. In order to identify the somatic types according to R.N. Dorokhov and V.G. Petruhin method (1989) we examined 132 men and 156 women. Thyroid volume was determined with ultrasound scanner «Aspen» with frequency of 7.0 MHz.Results: The difference between the values of thyroid volume meanings in representatives of the MiC and MaC types for men was 2.41 cm3 (p <0,05), for women - 3.96 cm3 (p <0,05).Summary: Anatomic variability indices of thyroid ultrasound correlated with individual-typological characteristics of the subject.
