Physicians and surgeons pay much attention to evaluating thyroid nodules due to the
malignant potential of these growths. Inflammation has a crucial role in the development of …

Quick and accurate diagnosis for malignant thyroid nodules via ultrasonography is a
valuable but challenging task even for experienced radiologists because of the complexity …

One of the limitations of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid is difficulty in
distinguishing the follicular variant (FV) of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) from follicular …

Abstract Design Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most reliable diagnostic tool in
the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. A cytologic diagnosis of follicular neoplasm with atypical …

Objective To investigate the role of thyroid ultrasonography in our outpatient endocrine
practice. Methods We compared the efficacy of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration …

Background The diagnostic performances of ultrasound (US) examination and US-guided
fine needle aspiration (US-FNA) were investigated in thyroid nodules≤ 10 mm in size …

In non‐iodine‐deficient areas, 4% to 7% of the population are reported to have thyroid
abnormalities. Prophylactic operations of these nodules in the thyroid are not indicated and …

Thyroid nodules are found in 4 to 7% of the population, and with the increased use of
radiographic methods, incidental nodules are becoming more prevalent. Only 5% of all …

Background. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ultrasonography (US)
improves the accuracy and reduces the rate of nondiagnostic fine-needle aspiration biopsy …

Objective: Conventional fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for cystic thyroid nodules
(CTNs) has a high rate of nondiagnostic and false-negative results. Ultrasound-guided …
