Comparison of diagnostic performance and FNA management of the ACR-TIRADS and Chinese-TIRADS based on surgical histological evidence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The sonography-based risk stratification of thyroid nodules is based on the different sonographic features of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. 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 approaches. Thus, we sought to compare the diagnostic performance and FNA management approaches of the ACR-TIRADS and Chinese-TIRADS based on surgical histological evidence.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients with complete thyroid ultrasound images and histologic evidence who were consecutively selected from The Aff
