Experience of the Implementation of Rapid On-Site Evaluation in Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Thyroid Nodules.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the implementation of the rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) technique in ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: We conducted an observational and retrospective study approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee as an investigation without risk. Between January 2012 and December 2015, 892 ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy procedures were performed under ultrasound guidance.
