4 patients have been advised sonographic follow up as their nodules are either TR3 or TR4 and one patient with TR5 nodule underwent surgery; final HPE was encapsulated FVPTC (Mutation analysis of the HPE block was also done). Among those with positive NGS (n = 6),...

Additional Value of Pertechnetate Scintigraphy to American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems and European Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems for Thyroid Nodule Classification in Euthyroid Patients.Cancers. 2024; 16(24):4184. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers...
The end result of these models is the generation of a numeric score, which categorizes the relative risk for benignity or malignancy and specifies recommendations for further nodule management. The foremost objective is the reduction in unnecessary FNA and unwarranted US surveillance [36]. Studies ...

2. Materials and Methods Based on literature and expert opinion, a systematic, structured approach was adopted to construct an accurate score-based model for thyroid nodule detection. 2.1. MATLAB Toolbox There are numerous toolboxes available such as signal processing, fuzzy logic, neural network, ...
Not Suspicious, 3 points = TR3. Mildly Suspicious, 4 to 6 points = TR4. Moderately Suspicious, and 7 or more points = TR5. Highly Suspicious. Recommendations for FNA or follow-up ultrasound are based on the ACR TI-RADS level and, at higher TI-RADS levels, the size of the nodule. ...
