Objective: Conventional fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for cystic thyroid nodules (CTNs) has a high rate of nondiagnostic and false-negative results. Ultrasound-guided FNAB (UG-FNAB ...

Contrast-enhanced CT, PET and/or biopsy Same as low-risk patient Based on the guidelines published by The Fleischner Society for Thoracic Imaging and Diagnosis [67]. Nodule size is based on ...

we typically perform a neck ultrasound to evaluate the thyroid and the areas around it. Based on the appearance and size of the nodule(s), we may recommend a needle biopsy. Depending on your history ...

Background: With the widespread use of computed tomography (CT), the detection rate of pulmonary nodules in children has gradually ... In addition, we failed to collect lung biopsy report of nodules ...

Abstract: Assessing the invasiveness of thyroid nodules, particularly whether they have metastasized to lymph nodes, is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. Current diagnostic methods, including ...

Nodules are growths on part of the body. They can be hard or fluid-filled. Thyroid nodules are usually benign, but they can be cancerous tumors. Sometimes a nodule is examined with imaging and/or ...

Abstract: To address the issue of inaccurate segmentation caused by blurred edges and strong noise in thyroid nodule ultrasound images, an image segmentation method based on an improved Swin ...

This research emphasis has led to a lack of specific early screening cohorts for pure ground-glass nodules, a gap this paper seeks to address by exploring diameter thresholds in low-dose CT (LDCT) ...

If a nodule or mass is found on a CT scan, a lung biopsy is most often needed to determine whether the abnormality is cancerous or not. In a biopsy, a tissue sample is removed from the lung and ...

These nodules are detectable with palpation in about 2–6% of the population and with ultrasound in around 19–67% (1). Most are benign, but approximately 5% are cancerous (2). Table 1 The Bethesda ...
