Background: The lack of standardization in risk stratification systems (RSSs) has led to uncertainty in selecting the most effective RSS for diagnosing malignancy risk in thyroid nodules. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of four current score-based RSSs according to thyroid nodule size, with the goal of determining the most effective RSS and aiding in clinical decision-making.

Methods: Between July 2013 and January 2019, a total of 2,667 consecutive patients presenting with 3,944 thyroid nodules were pathologically diagnosed after thyroidectomy and/or ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA).

Introduction: To assess the performance of the European Thyroid Association Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System (EU-TIRADS) and the Korean Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (K-TIRADS), which combine risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules (TN-RSS) and cervical lymph nodes (LN-RSS) in diagnosing malignant and metastatic thyroid cancer in a single referral center.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2,055 consecutive patients who underwent thyroidectomy or fine-needle aspiration (FNA) from January 2021 to December 2022. TNs and LNs were categorized according to the ultrasonography (US) features of EU-TIRADS and K-TIRADS, respectively.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic performances of the artificial intelligence (AI), American College of Radiology (ACR), and Kwak Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADSs) using the size thresholds for fine needle aspiration (FNA) and follow-up defined in the ACR TIRADS.

Methods: This retrospective study included 3,833 consecutive thyroid nodules identified in 2,590 patients from January 2010 to August 2017. Ultrasound (US) features were reviewed using the 2017 white paper of the ACR TIRADS.
