“…Although thyroid cancers are cold on scan, most cold nodules are benign. However, a recent study suggests that the thallium-201 (201Tl) thyroid scan is a useful tool for detecting malignancy in palpable cold thyroid nodules classified as nondiagnostic or suggestive lesions by FNAC [14]. However, further study with a larger population is needed to validate the potential role of 201Tl thyroid scan in the clinical management of these thyroid nodules.…”

“…Rates, however, vary considerably in the literature. Freehand FNAC has a nondiagnostic rate of 9-35% [4,13,14] in experienced hands. The Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia, has a reported range of "inadequate" FNAC from 13 to 62% [19].…”
