Overview

Prospective cross-sectional cohort study explores ultrasound's accuracy in identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules, suggesting its reliability in clinical settings.

Key Points

  • Ultrasound achieved 92.51% sensitivity and 93.96% specificity in detecting thyroid nodules, demonstrating its diagnostic accuracy.
  • Out of 59 patients, ultrasound accurately identified 6 malignant cases while misclassifying 2 benign cases—reinforcing the method's reliability.
  • The study involved 50 patients examined over three months, correlating ultrasound findings with excisional biopsy outcomes.
  • Ultrasound shows a positive predictive value of 82.97% and a negative predictive value of 87.03%, highlighting its effectiveness in clinical diagnosis.
