TI-RADS CALCULATOR

Using an online calculator (www.TIRADSCalculator.com) for Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) with images and descriptions of each of the ultrasound features as a clinical and educational tool to guide management of incidental thyroid nodules... Thyroid nodules are common, with a prevalence of up to 68% of adults on ultrasound (1). Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the most effective test in determining of a thyroid nodule is malignant and occasionally surgery is required to achieve a definitive diagnosis. But most thyroid nodules are benign and not all nodules require FNA or surgery. Over diagnosis of thyroid cancer results in many detected thyroid cancers without affecting mortality between 45 to 80% of cases. Recent attention has been focused on developing a non-invasive system, called Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS), with the use of ultrasound for risk stratification of thyroid nodules to identify clinically significant malignancies while..
