 Ultrasonographic patterns of thyroid nodules were correlated with pathologic findings. Thyroid nodules were examined with a real-time ultrasound scanner (HITACHI EUB-40,5 MHz convex type probe) equipped with a jelly pack produced on a centrifuge.
 On thyroid ultrasonography, the halo sign appeared in cases of follicular-pattern-dominant tumor. Histological capsular invasion appeared in seven of the ten cases presenting irregular halo. In diagnosing histological capsular invasion, sensitivity was 88%, specificity was 67%, and accuracy was 76%. Chai-square evaluation indicated that this finding was statistically significant (p<0.05).
 Thyroid nodules with irregular halo signs are carcinomas with capsular invasion. The authors are now diagnosing thyroid nodules with irregular halo signs as follicular-pattern-dominant carcinomas, though more ultrasonographic case studies will be necessary before the diagnoses of histological type.
