Abstract

Purposes: Describe imaging characteristics and stratify TIRADS 2017 as ACR.
Materials and methods: There are 259 consecutive patients with thyroid nodules on ultrasound. All of them were undergone
operation with pathology after surgery.
Results: The average age is 42,8 ± 12,2 years old and female/ male=10/1. Histopathology results after surgery, thyroid cancer 9,3%. The solitary nodules are the highest ratio (65,8%). Most lesions are over 25 mm in size. TIRADS 3 is the highest (40,2%) and the least is TIRADS 2 accounts for 0,4 %. TIRADS 2017 classification and pathology indicates strong evidence with p < 0,05.
Conclusion:TIRADS 3 is the highest (40,2%) and TIRADS 2017 classification and pathology indicates strong evidence with p < 0,05.
