背景甲状腺结节是非常常见的，存在于高达50%的成人。颈部超声是评估甲状腺结节的最佳成像测试，因为它可以检测已被证明可以预测恶性肿瘤的特征。美国甲状腺协会已经发布了基于证据的超声标准，用于评估甲状腺结节的癌症可能性。那些表现出相关超声特征的结节可以通过甲状腺活检进行评估，而那些没有表现出相关超声特征的结节可以安全地进行随访。
BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are very common and are present in up to 50% of adults. Neck ultrasound is the best imaging test to evaluate thyroid nodules, because it can detect features that have been proven to predict malignancy. The American Thyroid Association has published evidence-based ultrasound criteria for evaluating thyroid nodules for the possibility of cancer. Those nodules which exhibit concerning ultrasound features can then be evaluated with a thyroid biopsy, while those that do not can be safely followed.
