[Routine performance of thyroid ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the setting of a high-resolution endocrinology practice].

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is considered the reference diagnostic procedure for thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: Routine performance of thyroid ultrasound and ultrasound-guided FNAB by endocrinologists allows a more efficient approach in the setting of a high-resolution practice, thus reducing costs and the time elapsed until diagnosis.

Results: We present our initial results of this procedure 2 years after its introduction, with a total of 286 biopsies performed.
