Comparisons of ACR TI-RADS, ATA  guidelines, Kwak TI-RADS, and KTA/KSThR guidelines in malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules.

CONCLUSIONS: The four guidelines have good diagnostic efficiency in differentiating TNs. ACR TI-RADS and Kwak TI-RADS have better diagnostic performance than the other guidelines in the all nodules group and the nodules<10 mm group. Considering the comprehensive diagnostic efficacy and unnecessary biopsy rate, ACR TI-RADS is a more desirable classification guideline in clinical practice.
