Özet

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has recently proposed a guideline that recommends clinicians to perform thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) on the basis of ultrasound features. In this study, we focused on nodules for which no biopsy is recommended by the ACR Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) guideline.
