The concordance between thyroid nodules ultrasound, based on thyroid Imaging reporting and data systems, and fine needle aspiration

Abstract

Background: Thyroid nodules are solid or cystic lumps within the thyroid gland. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concordance between thyroid nodules ultrasound reports, based on Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data (TIRAD) System and results of ultrasound guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA).
