Role of ultrasound in the assessment of nodular thyroid disease
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology (JMIRO), 05/27/09
Bastin S et al. - The authors review the evidence that US characteristics of thyroid nodules can predict the risk of malignancy. A predominantly solid nodule, hypoechogenicity, microcalcification, macrocalcification, ill-defined margins, intranodular vascularity, and taller-than-wide shape have all been associated with increased risk of malignancy, but no single US characteristic is sufficiently sensitive or specific to exclude or diagnose malignancy by itself.
