Thyroid and Parathyroid Imaging

Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer coupled with advances in the triage of thyroid nodules and management of thyroid cancer. In particular, the development of the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) allows for an evidenced-based standardized approach to reduce the number of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations (FNAs) performed on benign nodules and the majority of the small well-differentiated thyroid cancers that may not meet size criteria for biopsy, as these are likely indolent.
