Purpose of the Procedure
- Determine the size, location, and characteristics of thyroid nodules.
- Classify nodules using TI-RADS criteria to estimate malignancy risk.
- Decide whether a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is necessary.
A precise ultrasound examination using the global TI-RADS system to assess thyroid nodules. This diagnostic tool evaluates malignancy risk, ensuring early detection and accurate monitoring for optimal patient safety.
Scientific name: Thyroid Nodule Ultrasound & TI-RADS Classification
A non-invasive ultrasound procedure to examine thyroid nodules. It utilizes the standardized TI-RADS scoring system to evaluate malignancy risk, guiding physicians on whether a biopsy or routine monitoring is necessary.
