Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the agreement of TI-RADS scores between sonographers and radiologists in assessing suspicious thyroid nodules and evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of these scores against histological results.
  • Results showed moderate agreement overall (κ = 0.504) but poor agreement for nodule margins (κ = 0.102). Both groups had high sensitivity (100%), but sonographers had better specificity (44.6%) compared to radiologists (29.3%).
  • The findings suggest potential benefits of involving sonographers in initial assessments, while future research should focus on reducing scoring variability and exploring a broader range of TI-RADS categories for better clinical application.
