## Abstract ## Background. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value for malignancy of microcalcifications determined by ultrasonography in thyroid nodules. ## Methods. One hundred seventyβseven nodules were prospectively studied by ultrasonography and compared with their fineβ
## BACKGROUND. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the predominant method for triaging thyroid nodules into operative and nonoperative lesions. Accurate needle placement assuring representative sampling of a suspicious nodule is required. Criteria are well established for separation of nodular goiter
## Abstract ## Background The objective of this study was to select patients for resection of thyroid malignity among patients with thyroid nodules by integration of predictive indices with fineβneedle aspiration cytology (FNAC). ## Methods Characteristics of 571 euthyroid patients with thyroid
