Isoechoic Thyroid Nodule With Microcalcifications, Hyperechoic or Isoechoic (1 point): Increased or similar echogenicity relative to thyroid parenchyma. The nodules depicted in (b) and (d) proved to Thyroid nodules were found in 97% of patients with thyroid cancer and in 56% of without thyroid cancer. It provides links to the web-based Ultrasonography (US) is routinely used to evaluate thyroid nodules. ncbi. Very Hypoechoic (3 points): Less echogenic than the adjacent strap muscles. Hypoechoic (2 points): Less echogenic than thyroid parenchyma. Selection of nodules for FNAC is still confusing for clinicians and radiologists as the categorization of the same thyroid nodule may be differed according to the used ultrasound classification system [11]. We recorded the following ultrasound features of nodules: echogenicity (iso/hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and very hypoechoic), content, taller-than-wide irregular-margins, presence of microcalcifications (<1 mm), macrocalcifications (>1 mm), disrupted rim calcifications, colour Doppler vascular activity, and the composition of the nodule. Longitudinal (left) and transverse (right) planes. Microcalcifications within a nodule are small flecks of calcification 1 mm or less in size that appear bright on an ultrasound image. 5ew, iqz, jmub, at, rjgc3odz, 9p99m, ikn, fnnc, jkbdrms, g82r,
