Although fine-needle aspiration cytology is considered to be the reference method for
evaluating thyroid nodules, the results are inaccurate in approximately 10-30% of cases …

Context: There are no known effective and reliable biomarkers to distinguish benign thyroid
nodules from papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). Previous studies have indicated that …

Importance Fine-needle biopsy (FNB) became a critical part of thyroid nodule evaluation in
the 1970s. It is not clear how diagnostic accuracy of FNB has changed over time. Objective …

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a screening test for triaging thyroid nodules,
aiding in subsequent clinical management. However, the advantages have been …

Objectives/Hypothesis Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is well established in the
diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, false‐negative rates for malignancy of 3% to 10 …

Background: Accurate diagnosis of thyroid nodules is crucial for avoiding unnecessary
surgeries and enabling timely treatment. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and …

Background: Thyroid nodules are common. They can be either benign or malignant. Solitary
thyroid nodules (STN) have a high likelihood of being malignant. They should be …

Background. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) has
attempted to standardize reporting and cytological criteria in aspiration smears. Aims. The …

Objective. This study investigates the potential of an artificial intelligence (AI) methodology,
the radial basis function (RBF) artificial neural network (ANN), in the evaluation of thyroid …

Background: Presently it is difficult to differentiate malignancy for thyroid nodules by
palpation, ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) at the outpatient …
