Aims and objectives We aimed to analyze ultrasound (US) features of thyroid lesions to assess the criteria for stratification of the risk of malignancy. Methods and materials Thyroid US was performed in 13532 patients. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with cytology was done in 1081 thyroid lesions. 799 patients underwent thyroid surgery and had pathologic verification. The age ranged from 18 to 85 years. Results The sonographic features of the thyroid gland with standard US protocol were compared with cytologicy and pathology. US detected normal thyroid (21%), diffuse enlargement (11%), colloid nodules, including cysts (22%), autoimmune thyroid (AITD), Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis, and other diffuse conditions (22%), combined diffuse and focal changes (16%), nodules suspicious for carcinoma (exhibiting less than 50-70% of typical malignant features) (7%), nodules highly suspicious for cancer (70-90% of typical malignant features) (1%). Detected abnormalities were grouped in accordance with the risk of malignancy: benign, doubtful, or malignant nodules. Comparison of US data, FNAB with citology, and morphological examination allowed to define the risk of malignancy with scoring from 1 to 5 (THI-RADS). The first THI-RADS group included normal and diffusely enlarged thyroid gland (probability of malignancy 0%), THI-RADS 2 (Fig. 1-2) - type 1 colloid nodules and type 1 focal changes in AITD, Graves' disease, SAT (probability of malignancy 0%), THI-RADS 3 (Fig. 3-4) - type 2 colloid nodules (probability of malignancy 10%) and type 2 focal changes in AITD (Fig. 5), Graves' disease, SAT (probability of malignancy 16%), THI-RADS 4 (a and b) - nodules suspicious for cancer (probability of malignancy 80-90%) (Fig. 6-8), THI-RADS 5 (Fig. 9-10) - verified tumor (100% malignant). Groups 3-4 were subject to FNAB. Images for this section: Page 2 of 13
