FukushimaVoice: Fukushima Children’s Thyroid Examination: How Shunichi Yamashita would like doctors to deal with the results.

This is a letter sent from Shunichi Yamashita, M.D., from Fukushima Medical University to the members of Japan Thyroid Association, of which he is the president. The letter “asks” or rather “instructs” the members, who are likely to be the thyroid specialists, on how to deal with the thyroid ultrasound results of Fukushima children. Fukushima Medical University seems to have established a unique guideline for interpretation of abnormal ultrasound findings.
