متن کاملUltrasound and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Correlation of Thyroid Nodules
Purpose: High resolution grey scale ultrasound has emerged as an initial imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of patients with thyroid enlargement. Thyroid malignancy cannot be diagnosed on ultrasonography but various sonographic features in combination can be used to predict malignancy in thyroid lesions. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographic...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology versus Fine Needle Capillary Cytology in Thyroid Nodules.
OBJECTIVES Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC/FNA) is the primary investigation for thyroid nodules. Fine needle capillary cytology (FNCC/FNC) is an alternative technique not commonly used, though it is easy to perform. Both the techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to compare these two cytological techniques for better specimen and cytological diagnosis. ...
متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration Cytology versus Fine Needle Capillary Sampling in Cytological Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions
Background and Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an established out- patient procedure used in primary diagnosis of palpable thyroid lesions. A modified technique fine needle capillary sampling (FNCS) obviates the need of suction, is less painful, patient friendly and reported to overcome the problem of inadequate and bloody specimens. The aim of our study was to compare the...
متن کاملComparison of Fine Needle Aspiration and Fine Needle Nonaspiration Cytology of Thyroid Nodules: A Meta-Analysis
