Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of EU-TIRADS in Discriminating Benign from Malignant Thyroid Nodules: A Prospective Study in One Referral Center.

Background: Several thyroid societies have endorsed ultrasound (US) malignancy risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules and the recently released European Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (EU-TIRADS) needs large prospective studies for validation.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the performance of EU-TIRADS in identifying thyroid nodules for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and its ability to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies.

Methods: This was a single-center prospective study.
