In the absence of tumor cells, it remains uncertain whether the focus had been biopsied correctly, since the histologic di
## 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
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
