Retrospective analysis of the ultrasound features of resected thyroid nodules

Several ultrasound (US) risk stratification systems (US-RSSs) have been proposed to stratify the risk of malignancy (ROM) of thyroid nodules. This risk might be overestimated due to selection bias and comparison with the cytological report alone. Our study aimed to compare ROM and diagnostic performance of three guidelines (ATA, AACE/ACE/AME, EUTIRADS) and evaluate the changes in unnecessary biopsy according to the nodule size cutoff for biopsy,...
