Assessment reveals TIRADS demonstrates high sensitivity and accuracy in identifying thyroid nodules, suggesting efficacy in ultrasound diagnostics.

High sensitivity of FNAC Bethesda reaches up to 100% in diagnosing thyroid nodules.
The study included 130 patients, with a mean age of 38.6 years and a notable gender distribution of 51.5% males.
TIRADS scoring showed better performance in larger nodules and solitary nodularity, highlighting its diagnostic utility.
Over 35% of patients had positive TIRADS and Bethesda scores, underscoring diagnostic overlap in ultrasound and cytology.

Irum et al. (2025) studied this question.
