Features of thyroid gland ultrasonic anatomy in youths living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Abstract
In this study regional reference ranges for normal ultrasound anatomy of the thyroid gland in boys and girls aged 16-21 living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) were established. A total of 166 adolescents were examined, of which there were 84 boys (50.6%) and 82 girls (49.4%). The subjects underwent an ultrasound examination with the measurement of linear dimensions and the determination of thyroid volume. According to the results of the study in both groups, the linear dimensions and volume of the right lobe of the thyroid gland prevailed over the indicators of the left lateral lobe. The average thyroid volume in boys was higher and amounted to 11.4±2.6 cm3 and 9.7 ± 3.6 cm3, respectively. The quantitative characteristics of the thyroid gland, obtained as a result of the study, made it possible to identify patterns of variability in the intravital anatomy of this variable organ in adolescents living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) depending on gender. When compared with the data of foreign authors, the values obtained in this study were somewhat higher, which indicates the need for an in-depth study of the regional characteristics of anatomical norm indicators for the thyroid gland.
