The importance of studying a\u00a0thyroid nodule<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0lies in being able to gauge the nature thereof; i.e., we are concerned whether it is benign or not.

Let us see what they are and how they work…<\/p>\n

THYROID ULTRASONOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The principal\u00a0diagnostic test for\u00a0<\/strong>thyroid nodules<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is high-definition\u00a0ultrasound thyroid scan<\/strong>. This is the first supplementary examination we must carry out (after the physical examination of the patient and blood tests). This ultrasound scan will provide extremely valuable information, which will determine the next diagnostic step. If the lesion presents as non-specific or benign, we can relax and recommend follow-up in a few months or discharge. If the lesion clearly appears to be\u00a0malign<\/a>, we will need to proceed with the study thereof and\u00a0recommend surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TI-RADS, MAXIMUM OBJECTIVITY AND CONFIDENCE IN THYROID NODULE DIAGNOSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, diagnosis is straightforward and clear, but, in the majority of cases, establishing this diagnosis is not a simple matter. In the\u00a0diagnosis of thyroid nodules<\/strong>\u00a0we will be operating in a broad spectrum of greys, which may render the taking of decisions excessively subjective and at times erroneous. With the aim of unifying criteria, and ensuring maximum diagnostic objectivity and accuracy, the\u00a0Spanish Society of Surgeons (AEC)<\/a>, the\u00a0Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN)<\/a>, and the\u00a0American Thyroid Association (ATA)<\/a>\u00a0are encouraging their physicians to adopt a classification of\u00a0ultrasound characterisation known by the acronym,\u00a0TI-RADS<\/a>. This classification enables us to stratify the risk of nodule malignancy on the basis of their ultrasound characteristics. In this way, the subjectivity and errors are reduced, obtaining a more accurate diagnosis and, thus, better results for patients.<\/p>\n
