Correlation between Ultrasound - Based Tirads and Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid - Cytopathology

Dr. Faneesha Shakeer, Dr. Hijas Mukthar

Abstract: In recent times, high - resolution ultrasound thyroid imaging has paved the way for significant transformation in clinical approach to thyroid nodule. There are several risk stratification systems in thyroid imaging, developed with an aim, not only to reduce the inter - observer variability but also to establish effective communication system. Thyroid image reporting and data system (TIRADS) classification system, which is similar to breast imaging reporting and data system for breast lesion, is the most useful of all.
