ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules that are associated with risk of cancer. The high-risk characteristics include nodules that are large, are hypoechoic, contain microcalcifications, have irregular borders, or are taller than they are wide. Ultrasound characteristics associated with a low risk of thyroid cancer include nodules with more cystic components and those that have clear borders or are spongiform. Ultrasound characteristics help to stratify the risk of thyroid cancer and are used to determine when fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is indicated |
