Figure 1 Schematic of the L/V measurement method (A). Actual diagram of L/V measurement method (B). The icons represent subcutaneous tissue (white pentagram), anterior capsula (white hollow triangle) and thyroid gland (white solid triangle) (B). The short double arrow represents the L value, which is the ledge length of the protruding thyroid capsule from the nodule. The long double arrow represents the V value, which is the vertical diameter of the nodule (B).
