Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals the significant correlation between TIRADS ultrasound features and cytopathology in thyroid nodules, suggesting improved diagnostic accuracy.

Key Points

  • Ultrasonic assessment led to a diagnostic accuracy of 88.9% for thyroid nodules, supporting its role in clinical evaluations.
  • Among 150 patients, 84% were diagnosed as benign, while 16% were found malignant with most presenting papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • TIRADS classification significantly improved correlation with cytopathology, validating its use in reducing unnecessary procedures.
  • Fine needle aspiration cytology identified 24 cases of malignancy, primarily within TIRADS 5 and Bethesda 5 categories, emphasizing its diagnostic utility.
