Ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) was performed on 268 thyroid nodules (135 palpable, 133 nonpalpable) in 210 patients with various thyroid conditions; 62 nodules also had palpation-guided FNA. Surgical pathology was obtained in 67 malignant nodules and 32 benign nodules. Al
## BACKGROUND. We reviewed the Massachusetts General Hospital experience with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) of the thyroid to determine the indications, rate of unsatisfactory smears, correlation with excisional biopsy results, and verification of efficient use of perso
Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-guided FNAB) was performed in 40 patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) for evaluation of diagnostic results and complication rates. The final diagnoses of the 40 patients included 30 malignancies and 10 benign lesions. Using US-guided FNA
BACKGROUND. Ultrasound (US) has been shown to be a sensitive technique for monitoring patients for recurrent thyroid carcinoma in the thyroid bed after total thyroidectomy. However, the role of US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the confirmation of sonographically indeterminate or sus
