- Thyroid nodules are common issues, and fine-needle biopsy (FNB) is the usual method for assessing them; this study compares aspiration versus nonaspiration techniques.

- The findings revealed no significant difference in the quality of samples from either technique, suggesting both are valid screening methods for checking thyroid nodules.
