Figure 1.
Example of TIRADS and SE of thyroid adenoma: 10 mm nodule in the right thyroid gland classified as TIRADS 4 (consistent with malignancy) in the left image and SE 2 (predominantly green = soft; consistent with benign nodule) in the right image.
Histology revealed a benign follicular thyroid adenoma.
Figure 2.
Example of TIRADS and SE of papillary carcinoma: 10 mm nodule in the right thyroid gland classified as TIRADS 4 (consistent with malignancy) in the left image and SE 3 (predominantly blue = hard; consistent with malignancy) in the right image.
Histology revealed a papillary T2 carcinoma.
