Abstract:
To evaluate thyroid nodules using TIRADS classification, by correlating with FNAC and to assess the diagnostic validity of individual component criteria used in the TIRADS classification system, five sonological features were assessed namely internal composition, echogenicity, margins, presence and type of calcification, and shape of the lesion. The diagnostic performance of the TIRADS classification system was evaluated by comparison with the fine‑needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) reports. All follicular neoplasms on FNAC were further followed up with excision biopsy and histology. The cytopathological report was used as the standard final diagnosis for comparison and the findings analyzed with respect to histopathological findings as gold standard. Solid composition, irregular micro lobulated margins, hypoechogenicity, marked hypo echogenicity, presence of micro calcifications, taller than wider shape were associated with a higher chance of malignancy. Therefore by correctly assessing a thyroid nodule and using TIRADS score, we can confidently determine the chance of it being a malignant nodule and thus further management can be done according to it. Thus performing unnecessary FNAC / biopsy on a benign nodule can be avoided with higher degree of accuracy.
