ACR TI-RADS^®SCORE ULTRASOUND – PICTORIAL ESSAY OF ULTRASOUND / ELASTOSONOGRAPHY / ANATOMY / CYTOLOGY and HISTOLOGY

Abstract

Introduction: Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) is a system for classifying thyroid nodules detected at ultrasonography, aiming at a descriptive standardization as well as to classify their risk of malignancy based on sonographic findings. Aium: To present a pictorial essay by composing anatomical, histological, ultrasound and elastography images of the TI-RADS score. Method: Using software for image composition, based on the ultrasound image of the various types of thyroid nodules, we adapt to the anatomical image, the elastosonography, and histological corresponding TI-RADS and present a pictorial essay. Results: The correlation between the sonographic, elastography, anatomical, cytology and histological images corresponding to the TI-RADS score are demonstrated. Conclusion: Ultrasonographic features, elastosonography, anatomical, and histological in evaluation of thyroid nodules can correlate with features TI-RADS score.
