Validity of Ultrasound Criteria for Malignancy and FINE Needle Aspiration (FNA) in Eufunctional Thyroid NoduleHernando VargasUricoechea, MD, MSc
According to the criteria proposed by Horvath et al.5, all nodules were classified into four categories: TI-RADS 3: Hyper, iso, or hypoechoic, partially encapsulated nodule with peripheral vascularization, in Hashimoto's thyroiditis; TI-RADS 4A: Solid or mixed hyper, iso, or hypoechoic nodule,...
The American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) and the Chinese-TIRADS define different risks for malignancy categories and the size criteria for fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Few studies have compared their diagnostic performance and FNA management ...

On surgical specimens, the presence of benign TN (follicular adenoma [FA], hyperplastic nodule [HN], and MNG) or malignant thyroid lesions (papillary thyroid cancer [PTC] and follicular carcinoma [FC]) was identified by common criteria [26]. The histological diagnosis of diffuse and focal CCH...
