Summary

Thyroid nodules are a very common clinical problem with prevalence of up to 68% in adults on high-resolution ultrasound .Ultrasound used in order to differentiate between benign and malignant lesion in the thyroid has shown sensitivity of 93.8% and specificity of 66% and US guided ( Fine needle aspiration ) FNA is known to be the test of choice in order to determine the nodules nature . Four to 6.5 % of all nodules are malignant .There are several guidelines that were suggested to help predict the risk stratification of thyroid nodules by ultrasound .

The American Thyroid Association (ATA) is widely used as evaluation, clinical and ultrasound criteria for fine-needle aspiration biopsy and management of thyroid nodules. The recent ACR TIRADS is a reporting system for thyroid nodules on ultrasound proposed by the American College of Radiology (ACR) published april 2017 that uses a slightly different scoring system for recommendation for FNA of thyroid.

The aim of this study is to validate TIRADS ACR 2017 risk stratification in the patient population in comparison to ATA risk stratification

Conditions

  • Thyroid Nodule

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ultrasound and FNA

The nodule to undergo FNA will be chosen according to TIRADS ACR criteria and the ATA risk criteria ( if there is a disagreement between the methods whether to perform FNA the FNA will be performed ) If both methods do not recommend FNA , but the referring doctor has requested the procedure or the patient is unable to stay on follow up , the FNA will be performed .
