Thyroid ultrasound and grading of thyroid nodules
10 May 2019
This webinar video has discussed how ultrasound examination is the most frequently used method to assess thyroid gland abnormalities by radiologists and sonographers. The ultrasound "U" classification of thyroid nodules has been developed by the British Thyroid Association (BTA) as part of their 2014 guidelines on the management of thyroid cancer. It allows for classifying thyroid nodules into U1-U5 categories, with U1 being normal thyroid, U2 benign, U3 indeterminate, U4 suspicious for malignancy, and U5 likely malignant.
Educational aim:
- To become familiar with the ultrasound “U” classification of thyroid nodules.
