Recent Advances of TIRADS Classification of Thyroid Nodules by Ultrasound

Background: Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths of thyroid tissue which commonly arise within an otherwise normal gland. They may be hyperplasia or a neoplasm, but only small percentage the latter cancers. Objectives: To improve management patients and to reduce cost-effectiveness by decreasing number unnecessary fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Patients Methods: This study was conducted on 50 known clinically suspected have solitary nodule multiple nodules, referred Radiodiagnosis Department, Ain Shams University Hospitals. The cases included 33 females 17 males (age between 41-50 years). Results: All with TIRADS 1 were benign. In 2 there 10 benign malignant nodules. 3 4 while in 5 There statistically significant difference two groups. groups regarding texture Solid higher spongiform common cystic mixed comparable Conclusion: major ultrasound features seen associated malignancy microcalcifications, taller than wider shape nodule, hypoechoic marked echopattern irregular borders presence suspicious cervical lymph nodes.
