Context For the correct clinical application of the sonographic risk-stratification systems, the
definition of independent risk features that are foundational to each system is crucial …

Rationale and Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrasound features
of thyroid nodules and their association with malignancy, focusing on establishing feature …

Background The natural course of cytologically benign thyroid nodules remains unclear. The
aim of this study was to evaluate whether ultrasonographic (US) changes are associated …

New sonographic patterns have been recommended by the 2015 American Thyroid
Association (ATA) to stratify nodules in terms of malignancy risk and help guide biopsy …

AIM: The purpose of this study was to assess the positive predictive value of the suspicious
sonographic features of solid nodules of the thyroid. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After …

Objective: In order to quantify the risk of malignancy of clinical and ultrasonographic features
of thyroid nodules (TNs), we did a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies …

Methods: US of 736 consecutive patients with 854 nodules were collected in 9 large medical
centers. 624 nodules with more than 50% of solid component (272 malignant and 349 …

Abstract Background The American Thyroid Association (ATA) sonographic patterns stratify
the risk of malignancy of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs). This study aimed …

METHODS Thyroid nodules measuring> 1 cm resected over 5.5 years were retrospectively
studied. Demographic information as well as cytology and histopathology results were …

Thyroid ultrasonography (US) and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) are the most
important tools in evaluating thyroid nodules. A total of 3,404 nodules in 2,082 cases …
