## 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 (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
Abstract Conventional criteria for the evaluation of thyroid nodules are inaccurate in identifying the small proportion of malignant neoplasms. The diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FN AB) for cytology was therefore assessed in 562 patients with nodular thyroid disease, 373 of wh
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
