Objective To compare the frequency of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological results between nodules 1 cm or less and nodules greater than 1 cm.Borges, Felipe AbrantkoskiCamilo-Junior, Deolino JoaoXavier-Junior, Jose Candido CaldeiraCtr Univ Catolico Unisalesiano Auxilium Sch Med Aracatuba SP ...
In nodules larger than 1 cm, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is central to the evaluation as it is accurate, low risk, and cost effective. Subcentimeter nodules, often found incidentally on imaging obtained for another purpose, can usually be evaluated by ultrasonography. Other laboratory and imaging...
Thyroid nodules are a very common pathology in clinical practice and in imaging studies. Autopsy results indicate a 50% prevalence of thyroid nodules greater than 1 cm in patients with no clinical symptomatology. The goal is to evaluate the accuracy of elastography in the evaluation of thyroid no...
Nodules may appear ‘hot’, ‘warm’ or ‘cold’ depending on whether the tracer uptake is greater than, equal to or less than the surrounding normal thyroid tissue respectively [11]. Autonomous nodules may appear hot or indeterminate and account for 5 to 10 % of palpable nodules. FNA evalu...
Ultrasound examination (US) is an essential tool in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. The size determined by US is used to distinguish between clinical vs. nonclinical thyroid nodules i.e. greater than or equal to or less than 1 cm. In this study, we evaluated the concordance between the ...
We also assessed the classifier on different sizes of nodules and specific histopathological types of tumors. The classifier showed a more accurate prediction in nodules ≥ 1 cm in size (87.7%) than those < 1 cm (75.8%) in the prospective sets, which may be due to inaccurate sampling...
BACKGROUND: Fine-needle aspiration remains the primary diagnostic intervention for the evaluation of most thyroid nodules larger than 1-1.5 cm. Although mo... EK Alexander - 《Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism》 被引量: 179发表: 0年 Evaluation of the thyroid nodule need to develop ...
1.3.1. Lexicon Lexicons have many similarities, in particular regarding the categories (composition, echogenicity, shape, margins) and terms that have been chosen to describe nodules. In particular, the taller-than-wide shape has a common definition. However, significant differences exist: Echogenicit...
The American Thyroid Association 2015 guidelines recommend that nodules larger than 1 cm should be evaluated. Smaller nodules, i.e., those less than 1 cm in diameter, should be evaluated in special cases, such as when there are other clinical indications. Key diagnostic tools include clinical ...
